Still there is

1) a bug that failure to unmount is not checked

2) a valid feature request to have the offending processes logged

Since there are valid use cases that lead to this very same error (eg.
if apt fails a big install run it takes forever to die and clean fails
because of that) I think this would be useful in general.

Thanks
