During normal operation, it seems to me that the right thing is to panic if the mount was done by root and to do the forcible-unmount thing if non-root. (This arguably should be a mount option which is forced on for non-root mounts, so that root mounts can get the force-unmount semantics if desired.) der Mouse mouse@rodents.montreal.qc.ca 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
