There's a discussion on -current called "Re: [RFC] [PATCH] VM & VFS changes" which may help resolve the issue of unmounting and flushing the tree of filesystems more cleanly, which you should look into and be willing to test as code comes out. -- -Chuck PS: I understand that you'd rather the underlying problem be fixed, but it's a lot easier to wish for things to happen than it is to code them. That's why hard problems tend to stay unfixed for long periods of time, and why people learn to use workarounds when they are offered. It would be more helpful if you either learned to fix the stuff you choose to complain about, or would at least gracefully accept workarounds which help, even if they may be "quick and dirty fixes"...
