summary: >
A quick oneliner to list running processes that prevent a filesystem from
being unmounted. Using `lsof` or `fuser` for this.

Another quick one: I forget this command on a permanent basis, so I write this

down here -- maybe this helps.
~~~console
$ lsof +f -- /media/mountpoint

You could also use `fuser`. I prefer this one because somehow I cannot use
autocompletion with lsof and fuser lets me complete the paths.
~~~console
$ fuser -vm /media/mountpoint
~~~
