I mount a partition from another server (Irix). Then Irix crashes (whatever the reson). Then I can not access the mount point (of course), nor can I force it's unmount. The only way I know to make the FreeBSD box forget this directory was a mount point is to reboot it, which is a bloody shame. Do you know of a better way? (FreeBSD-2.1.5, but I think this is a typical case). Thank you, -mi -- "Windows for dummies"
