Description Andreas Klein 2006-02-05 16:45:24 UTC 
The device is busy error is always shown twice:

linux:~ # umount /local
umount: /local: device is busy
umount: /local: device is busy

This was done with intention, to handle wrong written mtab entries.

Here is the reason:
 *
 * Why this loop?
 * 1. People who boot a system with a bad fstab root entry
 *    will get an incorrect "/dev/foo on /" in mtab.
 *    If later /dev/foo is actually mounted elsewhere,
 *    it will occur twice in mtab.
 * 2. With overmounting one can get the situation that
 *    the same filename is used as mount point twice.
 * In both cases, it is best to try the last occurrence first.

I would say it's INVALID. mmj?
