Subject: [PATCH 156/173] umount: add note about --lazy |
|
|
|
Unfortunately, it's pretty common that users on production systems use |
|
lazy umount to fix some FS issues. The usual result is unwanted system |
|
reboot, because -l is not the right way how to fix unreachable NFS or |
|
mess with local FS with submounts. |
|
|
|
Note that after lazy umount /proc/self/mountinfo does not contain the |
|
FS entry, but kernel still references the FS. It makes it very |
|
difficult to debug. |
