Interesting. I wonder if this is new behaviour? (I did this first on a hamm
machine). So in his case he should be fine anyway unless he has a writable
file open somewhere.
But that won't work with the dead NFS server though, because umount will
attempt to umount the NFS server (and hang) before doing any of the local
drives.
