umount/mount uses old cache data in 2.1.46

Hi!

There seems to exist a problem with the filesystem-cache.
I could reproduce it, when doing the following procedure:

mke2fs -i 1024 /dev/sda13
umount /var/spool/news # formerly /dev/sda11
ls /var/spool/news # - empty
mount -t ext2 /dev/sda13 /var/spool/news
ls /var/spool/news # - shows nearly all of the old
# directories; some as files some intact

Are not all of the corresponding cache pages invalidated
when umounting?
I first encountered this problem when using 2.1.46
but I never did such things with an earlier 2.1.x

Regards,

Torsten Hentschel
