I've been having this prob several times. Many times after some
extensive OD access, something must got messed up so that I was not
able to eject the disk. I know that a device busy message will be
given if any process is accessing the OD or even a terminal cd to a
directory on the OD. I made sure I quit ALL except workspace, still
can't eject disk. I then launch the terminal to check the processes
with ps -aux. None of the process has anything to do with OD, but I
JUST couldn't eject the disk.

Is there anyway I can get rid of this trouble without leaving my
OD in an inconsistant state?
