[lug] Force umount

[Hugh Brown]

The most reliable way is to reboot.  

However, I would first check to see that there are no processes with
files open on the share (lsof|grep "sharename").  If there are, I'd go
through the kill cycle (-HUP, -TERM, -KILL) on those pids.  Once there
is nothing using the share, then try umount once and then use umount -f
to force the unmounting of the share.

HTH,

Hugh
