NFS dismount problems resolved!

A while back, I posted some questions about problems I was having getting
NFS mounted partitions to go away when the server was no longer active. I
wrote that I couldn't get the NFS mounts to go away to allow me to shutdown
my system.

After some very helpful input from SGI (thanks /be!), I've resolved my
problem.  Seems that I was a bit too impatient.  The first time I had
the problem, my battery backup suppply ran out before the umounts timed
out.  Seems my umounts take about 4 minutes to dismount the 3 partitions
I have.  Guess I'll just have to start the umounts earlier in case I need
to do a quck shutdown.

So, at least as far as soft mounted partitions go, there doesn't seem to
be any problem, just operator error.
