scripts:files:cannot_unmount_usb_drive

If you try unmounting a disk as follows (wherever you mounted it)

sudo umount /run/media/username/FlashDrive

and you get an error umount: target is busy, it can be very annoying to find the process that is using something from the drive.

You can use `lsof` to check which processes are accessing the files.

lsof | grep '/run/media/username/FlashDrive'

This will show you which process is using which file, which can be useful.
