Hi out there!

This problem is with a raid'ed device, so I feel this is the right place
to ask... It goes like this:

I just wanted to add a third hd to my two-way raid array. I did the
following (I don't remember the exact wording of the messages, so I give
only glipses of them):

# init S
... runlevel S reached
# umount /usr
...device busy
# fuser -k /usr
no processes ...
... do umount /usr
# umount /usr
... device busy

I wanted to copy /usr to a spare partition, then mkraid the new
three-part md-/usr, then copy the data back.
I use SuSE 6.0/6.1 (partly updated), stock raid of 2.2.12 kernel.
I'm not using the new raid, as the old one works very well for raid0 and
linear modes, which I use.

Any ideas why I cannot umount /usr, while /var, /opt, /tmp and /home can
be umounted just fine?
This has struck me before. IIRC, the problem does not come up when I
boot into runlevel 3 (the default) and then immediately switch to
runlevel S.
