Sorry to repost. But I thought maybe I should clarify my question. How can
I unmount _all_ filesystems? Also, how can I make sure they are all unmount
when I start my system?
: ) Thanks.

Subject: [newbie] FW: error mounting drives (already mounted)
Hi, everybody. Not sure what I did (don't think I did anything), but my
system is refusing to start properly. When it gets to the stage where it
mounts the file systems (in read-only mode i think), it says /dev/hda8
already mounted cannot continue, same for /hda9. It drops me back to shell,
as root I try to umount hda8 (tried with the -v, -f, -a, and -n tags) but it
won't unmount (says it's in use). hda9 unmounts fine. (incidentally, hda8
is my /usr partition) I'm assuming umount is running from /usr or using
libc on that partition, and thus cannot unmount it. How do I unmount it
then? And why would this have happened in the first place? When I restart,
both hda8 and hda9 are already mounted already (again). Any clues?
