Subject: Re: Difference in jbd2 behavior between CentOS and Ubuntu while unmounting

Yup, the kernel versions are drastically different. It's 3.10 vs 4.2.

The problem on 3.10 though is, while jbd2 holds on to the unmounted
device I cannot even rmmod jbd2 or ext4 *even if no other ext
filesystems are mounted*. That lock makes it all but impossible to do
anything with the block device.
