The problem is that there shouldn't be any loop devices in use and
there's nothing to unmount. The following transcript demonstrates the
problem:
[root@localhost ~]# losetup -a
[root@localhost ~]# mount -o loop,offset=32256
/usr/local/kvm-images/WinXP.raw /mnt/
[root@localhost ~]# umount /mnt/
umount -d /mnt
[root@localhost ~]# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [080c]:14073859 (/usr/local/kvm-images/WinXP.raw), offset 32256
That looks like a pretty clear bug in umount to me. I'd suggest
turning in a bugzilla on it. (I wonder if it only happens with
the offset arg - you'd think people would have noticed a general
leak of loop devices before now considering how few of them
are available by default).
man umount
