>Description:
	It's pretty easy to hang `umount -f' and get inaccessible
	directories.
>How-To-Repeat:
	NFS mount a file system over an interface that is detachable.
	Detach the interface.
	Try `umount -f' on the file system.  It hangs.
	But what is much worse is that the directory which had the
	mount point is no longer accessible.  E.g., I did `umount -f /mp3'
	and now I can no longer access `/'.
>Fix:
	Unknown.
