Here is what happened after I use lazy unmount, which is exactly the 
situation that I want to avoid:

  % sync; sync; sync

  % umount -l /mnt/mpoint

  % mount /mnt/mpoint
  mount: /dev/sdb14 already mounted or /mnt/mpoint busy

  % mount | grep /dev/sdb14 || echo no found
  no found

I.e., I want to cleanly unmount the local dev so that I can do a clean 
mount again. Now I can't ... 

Please help. 
Thanks
