Make sure you're not in that mounted directory before you try to umount it. Cheers

If any one of these is still running, I get the 'can't umount <partiton>, busy' popup. Any ideas how to fix this?

No fix. All processes have to be dead. Often a problem when trying umount /usr or the like. "init 1" or "fuser -ku" sometimes help.

Yes, don't use FAM.

Ummm...okay, heh...what's FAM, and is it really okay to leave it 'off' all the time, and *where* would I turn this off or 'not use' it? (sorry I'm getting to this so late, I'm pretty much disabled and had to move, and didn't have a lot of people who could help, sp things went at a snails pace, but at least I'm back now).
