:  The problem in a nutshell:
:  -------------------------
:  umount -a -t nfs
:  umount -a -t ufs
:  umount -a -t procfs   all run without error, but fail
:                        to unmount anything.

:                        The corollary is that the system allows me
:                        to mount already mounted nfs filesystems with
:                        a 'mount -a -t nfs'.

:                        If in this way I mount nfs filesystems, say, three
:                        times in succession, they will each show up as
:                        three separate entries in a "df" listing.
:                        If I then wish, I can remove these entries with
:                        successive umount's.

:                        and

:  umount -a -t cd9660   barfs with "umount: cd9660: unknown mount type"


: even though 'lsvfs' reports:

:  Filesystem                       Index  Refs Flags
:  -------------------------------- ----- ----- -----
:  ufs                                  1     2     0
:  nfs                                  2     2     0
:  msdos                                4     1     0
:  procfs                              12     2     0
:  cd9660                              14     1     0


: I wiped my installation, and started with a fresh 0210-snapshot system,
: but these problems persist.

i think this is my problem too - i'm running a 0210 snapshot and wondered why
i often get multiplied entries for the same nfs mount point under df - and
also the system errors about BUSY nfs mounts at a reboot or halt (... the
multiple mounts ...) - oh i forgot to say that i'm running the amd automount
which creates all this multiple mounts (the amd is not the reason for the
problem but it creates multiple mounts if the mounts are not correctly
unmounted by him) - would be "nice" if this would be fixed before 2.1 - t
