samba - Feb 2003 - forcing smbmount to unmount question

when you have something smbmounted with samba..
//ADMINISTRATOR@CALVIN_SR/M$   112G    71G    41G    64%    /mnt/samba

and you unmount it
and it gives you
/mnt/samba is busy

Im absolutely positive that I am NOT in the /mnt/samba dir, nor is anyone
else.
is there any way to force it to unmount?

Not sure about the force but you can try

lsof /mnt/samba 

to see what files are in use You might need to be root.  see man lsof
for details

You can first try using lsof to see what's open on that 
mount. Failing that:
umount -f

thanks guys.. that worked
umount -f ..

I thought I tried that earlier, but it didnt work.. but it did this time.
