This was a bug in some versions of NFS (unmounting doesn't free the
mount count or something like that), but I would have expected it to be
fixed in SuSE 7.3 by now. Are you running the 2.2 kernel? (Does 7.3
still offer a 2.2 kernel?) I've had similar problems with NFS between
Linux boxes, but haven't tried it in several months. Last time I had
the problem I ended up killing or HUP'ing two of the nfs deamons after
my umounts so I could remove the CD and remount the next one. Rather
painful...
