I've debugged the script with strace.
The problem is with umount() syscall:
[pid 23296] umount("/mnt/tmp-ums-test", 0) = -1 EBUSY (Device or
resource busy)
It is somehow strange, because with strace attached I occasionally see
correct behaviour:
[pid 23776] umount("/mnt/tmp-ums-test", 0) = 0
I need to debug the syscall in the kernel.
