What you have is not correct.
A more correct approach would be to actually *USE* the _elem iterator in
the loop, instead of just echoing it.
There is also a bug lurking in there. The script prints the
"Unmounting" message once for each unmounted filesystem.
One of the many ways to do the same thing without the bugs could be:
# extfs=$(mount | grep '^/.*(ext2fs,' | awk '{print $1}')
# if [ -n "${extfs}" ]; then
# echo -n "Unmounting ext2/ext3 filesystems:"
# for _elem in ${extfs} ;do
# umount "${_elem}" && echo -n " ${_elem}"
# done
# echo '.'
# fi
# unset extfs
