One should be able to use ps to find the PID of the mounts and kill them
directly i believe.
ps ax | grep mount
then kill -9 the corresponding PID's
Mount does not leave an active process running. Thus this would have no
affect. Did you test your idea?
Hope this helps.

Question, does umount still unmount "one instance" of the mount? This
is the behavior under Red Hat Enterprise 3 (2.4 kernel) which also
doesn't complain. The application I QA hasn't managed to get confused
enough under RHEL4 (we start supporting RHEL4 under our next release) to
mount one of our mount points multiple times so I don't have a data
point for RHEL4 (2.6 kernel).
Under RHEL3, I just keep issuing umounts for the mount point until I get
rid of all of them. Would this work for your situation? Any idea when
this "feature" got added to mount/umount?
Cheers,
Dave
