I'll add my two cents on another behaviour...If a remote NFS mount goes away
you can't unmount the point. You'll get an error on RPC timeout (i.e.
statfs()). This causes a problem with "df" as it will wait for what seems
like forever timing out on the mount point. How 'bout a "forced unmount"?
Is this possible?
