So I guess there was nothing wrong with umount /dev/hda2, it was simply unmountable, so to speak, for other reasons.
The only file system that can never by unmounted is the root file system.

The "mount" command shows which device is mounted on which mount point (a directory).
Thanks. I'll make note of that.

Ok, so there was nothing wrong with what I entered, it's just that the filesystem was unmountable.
Unmountable _AT THE MOMENT!_ There are no file systems (other than the root) that cannot be unmounted. There are rare conditions when file operations hang (identifiable by a 'D' value in the "STAT" column of the "ps -l" output), but truly this is a rare (and, by definition, erroneous) circumstance.
... Thanks, Greg Wallace
