I can do that, but in order to be useful for ordinary (non-root) users,
the tool would have to be setuid root, so that it can do the remounting.
This requires some careful programming, i.e. it'll take some time.

In the meantime, I've uploaded usbmount 0.0.2, which doesn't kill any
processes before unmounting:

Thanks,
