unmount usb disk

[Maurizio Marini]

This is a fedora 17 x64.1  

I have attached my backup usb disk and now I would unmount it.
I am unable to unmount it as some processes lock it.


f17 16:19:37 root at tikal: / # lsof /mnt/
COMMAND     PID   USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF    NODE NAME
nepomukse 26624 maumar   15r   DIR   8,17    16384 4276225 /mnt/etc
nepomukse 26624 maumar   16r   DIR   8,17     4096 4276258 /mnt/etc/avahi
nepomukse 26624 maumar   28r   DIR   8,17     4096       2 /mnt

f17 16:22:11 root at tikal: / # fuser /mnt/
/mnt:                26


What it the safe way to umount it?
I am tempted to pull usb cable and disconnect it, but i feel that some process
will reclaim the device complaing until i reboot the notebook.

please advice

many thnx
