Yes, you are right. And yes, this may be the way to enforce this. Just - ext2 maintainers may not like you :-). It _needs_ to be optional - I'm not going use this on safe machines until 3.16.31 :-).
Besides ncpmounting novell server and not umounting it is enough sabotage, already. Novell server will of course crash / be rebooted soon. And linux can not handle _that_. What about making linux support some kind of force unmount?
