First of all, I checked both lsof's and fstat's output: NOTHING seems to
have a file open in the /usr partition. Very strange. Of course, I've tried
the copies of both tools in /root/bin so they don't cause any access on /usr
theirselves.

I've checked this: In SUM, $CWD was /, and root's $HOME is /root on
the / partition. Users' home directories are on /home which is separated
from /usr (and can be unmounted without problems). At no time, a $CWD
was on /usr partition.

Which would be /root in case of SUM.



As I said, very strange...
