All sessions need to be out of the drive before you can unmount it. In the
session where you're working, head for the root directory, or type cd /.
Then try the unmount again. If it still doesn't work, see what else could be
looking in there.

Hi Thanks a lot. It works for me. However when I want to umount it, it
always says that the device is busy. Why is that so?
