Every once in a while, umount fails during the shutdown (probably because of some rogue program that the shutdown scripts didn't kill properly), forcing an annoying fsck at boot.
Shouldn't it be possible to do a forced umount (at worst a forced "mount -o remount,ro") during shutdown ?
Of course, we can use something like fuser to get a somewhat similar result, but it won't work for / (just try "fuser -k /").
Is there a fundamental reason why this cannot be done ? Doesn't `revoke' have to solve the same difficulties ?
