Hi.

Same problem here.  Some partitions still appear in `mount` output and 
`/proc/mounts` but can't be unmounted via either device name or mount point.
Repeatedly trying `umount -l` with device names and mount points finally 
managed to get the partitions unmounted.

Yet it feels awkward, like a worn out door lock that locks okay but you
have to shake for a while to have it unlock.

This is very likely not Ubuntu specific, e.g.

Title:
  can not umount rbind mounts

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  mkdir /mnt/dev
  mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
  umount /mnt/dev

  The umount fails because of the sub mounts that the recursive bind
  also bind mounted under /mnt/dev, which you have to remove manually
  first.  When you mount with --rbind, umount should be able to reverse
  the process, unmounting all recursively bound mounts.
