Check processes

To the umount:

Check any running processes on that mounted file system (including sub directories). A great tool for checking this is lsof (list open files). To kill user processes you can user the utility fuser (-ku) (but be careful with this). You might have to run fuser several times to get rid of all (stuck) processes.

To the fsck:

Depens on your OS and disk software. fsck is the standard and best tool for Linux.
