Hi,
Someone asked me to announce this on linux-fsdevel (I did on linux-kernel
only). So here goes:
http://www.moses.uklinux.net/patches/badfs-2.4.0-test5-pre5.patch
This patch adds ability to forcibly umount (as in umount -f) any
filesystem. This is work in progress and by no means ready for submission
to Linus. Namely:
a) it works, but:
b) it has serious (though unlikely to occur) race conditions wrt
filesystem's module unload and possibly with rename(2).
So, please try it, read it, fix it and send your comments to me :)
Regards,
Tigran
PS. We do need to have forced umount under Linux because:
a) Solaris has it.
b) it is useful
