Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7
Severity: normal

Running 'ifup eth0' in a folder on a mounted filesystem makes it
impossible to umount that filesystem without stopping dhclient first.
This is because dhclient keeps the present working directory open, and
thus the filesystem is busy and cannot be umounted. After running
'ifup eth0' in the /mnt folder, 'lsof' contains the following line:

dhclient   5763 root  cwd       DIR        3,1    4096     765537 /mnt

Best regards,
TMS
