Hi Jenny,
have you tried
umount -f /ducati
Chris, thank you: that gives "illegal seek" however.
fuser -v /ducati also causes the terminal to hang.
Thanks, Jenny.

Reboot the box.... or you could try a lsof | grep ducati and killing off any processes that think they still have files open from the other box and then unmounting the filesystems.
The easy option is to reboot the box though if it is non-trivial... although if the box has been up since May then are you sure you havn't done anything to it that will stop it coming back up again? ;)

What output do you get from lsof 'mount point'
Is there anything there that can be killed ?
As to the processes that cannot be killed, do a ps -el | grep 'suspect process name'
If the PRI field is very low then the process is so far asleep then it is not even looking for the kill signal, this is often the case with a process that is waiting for some resource or other.
The only way I know round that other then a reboot is to make whatever it's waiting for available (i.e if it's looking for a nfs volume, make sure it's available)
