Are you really really sure that /media/cdrecorder was mount point in time when you called "fuser"? fuser -m <dir> -- <dir> must be used mount point, else it reports all processes that use filesystem where <dir> is defined. Sorry, but it's feature, not a bug. Example: # mount | grep media /dev/hdc on /media/cdrom type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,user=zakkr) # fuser -m /media/cdrom /media/cdrom: 15452c # umount /media/cdrom # fuser -m /media/cdrom /media/cdrom: 1rce 2rc 3rc 4rc 5rc
You are correct, it is just a feature. When the cdrom is mounted the out is as I expected. The only bug here is the chair-keyboard interface :)
