The mount hangs again. This time without a symbolic link.
umount -f /dev/hdb6 gives:

umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /dev/hdb6: not mounted
umount: /home/hal/download/kde3/cvs: Illegal seek

Prozesses that use that partition:
# lsof | grep kde3/cvs
cc1plus 31258 hal cwd DIR 3,70 33 133147
/home/hal/download/kde3/cvs/kdelibs/kstyles/keramik
cc1plus 31258 hal mem REG 3,70 85595 248079
/home/hal/download/kde3/cvs/kdelibs/kstyles/keramik/keramik.cpp
cc1plus 31258 hal mem REG 3,70 23725 135815
/home/hal/download/kde3/cvs/kdelibs/config.h
rm 31413 hal cwd DIR 3,70 33 133147
/home/hal/download/kde3/cvs/kdelibs/kstyles/keramik

I can't kill them, nothing in the logs again.
