Yes the volume is busy:
mount -o remount,ro /mnt/point  = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy)

I could not yet identify why it is in busy state.

I added some code to check for open file descriptors. I built a test
application which simulates the sequence. But it runs without a problem.
Can i get informations from the kernel, what file or state causes the
busy state?
