I've debugged the script with strace.

The problem is with umount() syscall:

[pid 23296] umount("/mnt/tmp-ums-test", 0) = -1 EBUSY (Device or
resource busy)

It is somehow strange, because with strace attached I occasionally see
correct behaviour:

[pid 23776] umount("/mnt/tmp-ums-test", 0) = 0

I need to debug the syscall in the kernel.


Information about my system:

x86_64:
Linux 3.12.0 #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 27 10:26:22 CET 2013 x86_64
GNU/Linux

Debian 7.4.
