Sean, you might try

# fuser /path/media/drive

as well, that should give you the PID of the process that's hanging you up.

Not sure if that uses the same info as the lsof cmd though....

Damon, wouldn't a lazy umount like that run the risk of it *looking* like it's unmounted, but not really *be* unmounted?

later!
