Hello,
I'm trying to unmount /home but it keeps saying that the target is busy, I have trying many ways, as the fuser, kill ... but It keeps saying that the target is busy.
Thank you
Unable to unmount /home as target is busy
Re: Unable to unmount /home as target is busy
lsof -n | grep /home may show something.

Just a thought - where is your current default? If you have logged in and used su where is the default for the original process?

I noticed your related post about changing the size of your partitions, so I'm guessing that this question is related.
You might consider booting your system with a Live USB linux system so that your hard drive's partitions are not mounted. Then you can manipulate them easily.

Nah... /home is not critical and booting live DVD to resize that is an overkill.
Just use lsof to find what is holding it. Maybe you have logged in as regular user and used 'su' to become root ? If so, first go to / before becoming root.
