Well, what do you mean by "activity"? There's a couple of reasons why the kernel can consider a mount point busy. An obvious one is that a process has a directory on the CD as its cwd. That could be a daemon or a zombie, so you need not know about it. Maybe you should look in the /proc hierarchy for clue the next time it happens. -- Ian Zimmerman Lightbinders, Inc. 2325 3rd Street #324, San Francisco, California 94107
