unmounting ext3/ext2

Hi,

when mounting an (clean) ext3 filesystem as ext2fs,
extracting stuff in 
it, the device keeps busy afterwards, and I can't unmount
it.  Even 
after a full logout & login.

node2# mount
/dev/wd0a on / type ffs (soft dependencies, local)
/dev/wd0e on /xendoms type ffs (soft dependencies, local)
kernfs on /kern type kernfs (local)
/dev/vnd3a on /mnt/lala type ext2fs (local)
node2# vnconfig -l
vnd0: not in use
vnd1: not in use
vnd2: not in use
vnd3: /xendoms (/dev/wd0e) inode 138245
node2# umount /mnt/lala
umount: /mnt/lala: Device busy
node2#

should I rather report this to another mailing-list (which
one, 
tech-misc?) or submit a bug report?

Thanks

Does fstat report something about /mnt/lala ?

nope.  it reports about it during the extraction, and
nothing 
afterwards, accordingly.  and no process is keeping the fs
busy.

This also happens when simply stressing the filesystem, e.g.
find 
/mnt/lala | grep something.  otherwise (if not stressed
enought), it 
unmounts cleanly.

I tryed again, this time safer (ext2 only),

node2# mkdir /mnt/lili
node2# pwd
/xendoms
node2# mkdir lili
node2# cd lili
node2# dd if=/dev/zero of=lili.ext2 bs=1m count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 33.354 secs (31437788
bytes/sec)
node2# vnconfig -l
vnd0: /xendoms (/dev/wd0e) inode 138245
vnd1: not in use
vnd2: not in use
vnd3: not in use
node2# mkfs.ext2 ./lili.ext2

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 22

180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to
override.
node2# vnconfig vnd3 ./lili.ext2
