I'd prefer to have this fixed as well, rather than documented as a caveat. Since it seems to counterproductive to not being able to use umount -f on NFS mounts. I know I have had to use this in the past due to networks bouncing up and down. And a recompile is worth it in my opinion. I am interested in good arguments _NOT_ to fix this. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|freebsd.org|xmach.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder, finger asmodai@ninth-circle.dnsalias.net http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/developers-handbook/ Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality...
