it's written when syncing (or when unmounting), which happens "every so 
often", I don't know the specific times, someone else may know..

First you have to leave the /mymount directory, then try unmounting it. 
  Because you are in the directory, you are actually "using" the floppy, 
hence why the system didn't let you unmount it.
