I've tried it several times, it can always be reproduced.

I'm not sure if this setting (?) will have an effect after trying
the umount operation in SUM. Even if umount is retried after a
several time, /usr is still "busy".

No, nothing running. All applications have terminated.

I've used fstat and lsof to check for open files on /usr, nix,
nada, nitshewo.

I can't imagine which application should still be running when nothing
on /usr is accessed (lsof, fstat); I'll check on running applications
using ps.
