Additional Comment #10 From Olaf Kirch 2003-09-16 21:13                                
                 
The way I understood it the code is supposed to work like                              
                                              
                                                                                       
                                                           
 umount(8)      calls umount(2) with MNT_FORCE                                         
     
 umount(2)      calls NFS to signal all RPC tasks                                      
                                       
                later notices there are still buys inodes and returns to               
                                                               
                user space (-EBUSY)                                                    
                                                             
 umount(8)      retries umount(2) call                                                 
                                                               
                                                                                       
                              
If that assumption is incorrect, we indeed to wait for the rpc tasks to                
                                                  
complete. Nasty :-(
