while we want to increase the partition size or remove the partition we try to umount the particular partition.In that time when we use umount the particular partition it is unable to umount we will get the message.
Device is busy.
For an example
#umount /dev/sda1
if we get anything unable to umount busy
umount: /: device is busy.
(In some cases useful info about processes that use
the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
fuser identify process which are using the file and socket.
# fuser -m /dev/sda1
it will show the list of process which are things using these disk
/dev/sda1: 2400

These device is using the above process.
#kill -9 pid
Using kill command kill that process what are process occupy that device.
then try it.
other wise we can use lazy umount command | -l refers to the lazy
#umount -l /dev/sda5
if you still face the problem
check whether that particular partition is used by the nfs.
If it is used by the nfs then just shutdown the nfs service.
Then try it. It will work.
[root@master ~]# /etc/init.d/nfs stop
Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ]
[root@master ~]# umount /dev/sda5
lazy umount it will cleanup all reference of the file system and it is not busy any more.
