Ummmm. Ok. But, ummmmm... [root@fiji ~]# lsmod | grep supermount supermount 58884 2 (autoclean) [root@fiji ~]# umount /mnt/cdrom [root@fiji ~]# umount /mnt/floppy [root@fiji ~]# lsmod | grep supermount supermount 58884 0 (autoclean) [root@fiji ~]# mount /mnt/floppy [root@fiji ~]# lsmod | grep supermount supermount 58884 1 (autoclean) [root@fiji ~]# mount /mnt/cdrom [root@fiji ~]# lsmod | grep supermount supermount 58884 2 (autoclean) You can see that unmounting supermounted devices works with no problems Of course, I'm not using ide-scsi, that may complicate things. Unmounting decreases the usage count, mount increases the usage count. This is the way that supermount works, the way I understand it. Saying that it "shouldn't be ever used" on supermounted partitions seems a bit harsh. Can you offer an explanation of why this is so? Or is it closely linked to non-compliant ide hardware?
