Try an 'lsof' to see what is using the file system.  Remember CWDs
(current working directories) make the file system in use.  If you did
exactly what you typed, your shell was using the file system.  Try:

cd /
umount /mnt/opt

I'm trying to write a script that will umount a drive from my linux
system.  I already have it setup so that all services that access the
drive will shutdown prior to it um-mounting.  But, I can't figure out
how
to umount the drive if somone resides in that directory.

ie:

> cd /mnt/opt
> umount /mnt/opt

Mount: device busy

How can I forcibly umount the drive?  I tried the -f option, but no
luck.
