I don't want users to be able to corrupt their own data by using `intr' when I am just bouncing the server for some reason. But, I want root to be able to force it if necessary, as in the case of a client reboot when the server is gone (eg when switching servers and they need new handles for their automounts, but still have the old ones and the server is never coming back up). Usually this means the admin screwed up, but unfortunately that does happen. "umount -f" seems like the right place for this. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Take your first step towards giving your online business a competitive advantage.
