Kris,
If relevant, I may be able to test your patch, but the problem is
occurring only rarely. Do you have any suggestions for isolating and
reproducing this bug?
Run your script in a loop?
And I assume I can meaningfully test w/o the rsync call? I.e., just
mounting and unmounting the
keep our backup drive always
mounted until 6.1 comes out and test your patch then. :^)
Thoughts?
Thanks for your work on this.

Kris,
No, the rsync (i.e. activity on the filesystem) is important.
Yeah, just ran a test w/o it actually. We are planning to run a test w/
some disk activity later this afternoon. I suppose the more activity,
the more likely to see the bug, eh?

Kris,
Yes. FYI, I am fairly confident this is fixed, because I make
extensive use of mount/umount+filesystem activity, and I am no longer
seeing problems like this.
Great! Thanks for the info. We won't kill ourselves trying to test this
then.

/sbin/umount /backup/
echo -n '.'

At this point our plan is to cross our fingers and wait for 6.1.
Thanks for all your efforts!
