The error messages are (more accurately in order):
1.  .... device busy
2. .... device not mounted
3 .... illegal seek.

There was a log of this all over google but no solutions.

I tried -l in the umount (/etc/init.d/umountfs) -- I did this in an 
appropriate startup script when I got similar errors in umounting the initrd. 
I followed that with a sleep 5 to give things time to stabilize.

Results: No error messages appear, BUT the journal of the offending partition 
must be recovered at each reboot. Thank G-d for ext3. 

Any ideas for a real and correct solution?

Now that I have my multi-partition file system up and running: One of the 
partitions (mounted /usr/share) does not dismount in an orderly manner on 
shutdown. I get messages like:
 Illegal seek ....
...hdb6 not mounted ...

File system is OK on restart. (The first time, I needed ext3 journal recovery 
but this has not recurred.)
