Yes.

No. (before anyone asks... it's because I run the same kernel on a
number of machines... this particular one dosn't have quotas (it's an
admin machine and gets rebooted a lot... I havn't seen the oops on the
server because we don't reboot it often.)

4 partitions on scsi disks, 1 on an IDE disk, a NFS partition
and the automount daemon on /net

harik@chaos:~$ umount -V
umount: mount-2.5k
harik@chaos:~$

P133 with the intel 430FX chipset/96megs ram/256k cache (unbalanced, I
know... ugh) CPU runs cool to the touch.

I havn't seen it yet... right now I have
while umount /test ; do mount /test ; done
running in another session... and while my drive dislikes that ;-) it
hasn't failed yet.

gonna have to do single user
while umount -a ; do mount -a ; done

to see if that fails.

Someone else try this as well.
