Hi!

On our machines ins Grid Dynamics (HP ProBooks and miscellaneous servers),
repeating unmount if it reported "device or resource is busy" while
spawning a VM is not acceptable. Very often, unmount is reported as
_successful_ during the _first_ attempt, but the filesystem remains
_unsynchronized_ and authorized_keys are not updated, so, the VM is not
accessible by ssh. That looks strange, but it really happens.

Could you share your experience in reproducing and fixing this bug, please?

The same problem will be with sleeping for 4 seconds - the filesystem
remains not synchronized.

Why are you against sync? It's innocent and it constantly fixes the bug.
