Title:
  Mount folder left busy after unmounting

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  I unmounted my external disk via the Nautilus right-click->"Safely
  remove drive" menu item. When I went to remount the disk (given a
  label titan to always mount at /media/titan), it ended up being
  mounted at /media/titan_ since /media/titan still existed. This
  manifested itself in Banshee being unable to find any of the music
  that lives on that disk.

  It was impossible to remove /media/titan:

  josh at rigel:~$ sudo rm -rf /media/titan
  rm: cannot remove directory `/media/titan': Device or resource busy

  and furthermore, nothing shows up as using it in the output from lsof:

  josh at rigel:~$ lsof | grep /media/titan
  josh at rigel:~$ 

  The only way round this that I have found is to reboot, delete the
  /media/titan directory (now no longer busy) and remount the disk.
