Hello, All !

I got some troubles with ncpfs ( from 12.11.97 ) and 2.1.65 kernel.

If application opens a file ( on ncp ) and then finish without closing it,
ncfps will not actually close it ( server shows the file is opened ). As the
result, ncpfs couldn't be unmounted ( Device or resource is busy ). If file
has no Sh[areable] attribute, it will be locked ( Permission Denied ).

Almost the same situation, if server kicks the user fs is mounted under.
If at least one file is open, file system will be locked ( can't umount, but
no filesystem actually mounted ! ). Again, files are still used by ncpfs and
Device or resource is busy is returned.

Bye.
