the problem with the people who say they want forced umount is.. that most of the time they either want 1) get rid of the namespace entry or 2) want to stop any and all IO to a certain device/partition 1) is already supported with lazy umount (umount -l) for 2), it's not forced umount that they want, it's really an IO disconnect (which scsi supports btw in 2.6 kernels). So.. depending on which of the 2 you are, it's there. Just it's not called "forced umount"..... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
