My SCSI disk is having problems. This usually means that whatever process has it open is busy, and cannot be killed in any manner, and so I cannot umount the disk (or more properly, shutdown will hang forever at one of these two points). So, I have to fsck every other open device after hitting reboot.
Somewhere I saw that there would be a umount "force" option. I think there should be that, and also a kill -REALLY_DO_IT option, or maybe integrate this stuff into fuser.
