SubjectRe: Solve the problem that umount will fail when an opened file isn't closed
Date

Hi Mike,
Do you want to see the hotplug agent code?
I can mail it to you and I would be very grateful if you can give me any
suggestion to improve it.
It will be used on a consumer product and would be better to be very stable.

Regards,
Colin
