- Completly changed the internals of umount(8). We do three
checks now to see if 'argv' is in the mounttable. It they
all fail, we return to main and print a warning.
- fixed the umount mount-order. The checks are rather complex
to do this. Cause umount(8) should also be able to unmount
several devices at once ('umount -a', 'umount -A',
'umount /mnt /mnt2'), the mount-order get's important.
I added checks to mark and unmark already unmounted devices.
- Various fixes with nfs-unmounts (no rpc-calls were done,
or they were done although there was an existing mount).
Since we allow overlay-mounts, we should also handle them
properly.
- Translate the deprecated nfs-syntax with '@' to ':' like
mount_nfs does. The ':' syntax has now precedence, but '@'
still works.
- 'umount -v' is now fixed for all cases and doesn't print
garbage like two times the mountpoint etc.
- removed non documented and useless umount '-F'.
- hanged nfsmounts can now unmounted 'without' any problems.
I've removed stat() and realpath() checks on the mountpoint.
Instead we just do a realpath() on the basedir of the
mountpath and add the dirname again.
Implemented this as an idea from phk. But there are still
vfs-restrictions if the nfs_mount is busy. If there are
unwritten metadata on a hanged nfs-mount, and we modify
nfs_vfsops.c to not return EBUSY, we get a deadlock :(
The problem has now moved from userland to kernel.
- removed the BUGS part from the umount(8) manpage.
- Converted it to ANSI C (more than 60% of the code have
changed).

umount() was trying to stat() the mountpoint, this would fail if the
mountpoint was a NFS mountpoint, and the fallback code would try and pass
a hostname:/dir path as the mountpoint to unmount(2), which would fail.
This whole stat() of the name supplied on the command line business is
trouble as it'll wedge on a hung NFS mount.
I'm not entirely sure why we are not simply looking up both arguments
in the mount table and doing the right thing without accessing the
filesystem. It seems that we're going to a lot of trouble to allow
mountpoints on symlinks and other wierd things.

real path here for the mount device (or path). This fixes difficulties
unmounting devices that are actually symlinks to real devices.
Also, print the original path instead of the real path in early error
messages. nfs path handling and later error messages may still be wrong,
probably only in silly cases where the original path is both a symlink
and a remote path.

- use new getvfsbyname() interface.
- new -A option, like -a except only mounted file systems are unmounted.
All non-cosmetic FreeBSD changes in umount.c, except ignoring of
realpath() failures, went away because they are done better in Lite2.
realpath() failures must be ignored so that non-pathnames like
"<above>:/foo" and "host:/bar" get as far as mount(2).

/sbin/umount does not return the correct exit status due to incorrect
logic in its internals.
Further, because of the nature of the code, you *cannot* use it to
umount a directory from a union mountpoint. Well, you can sometimes,
it depends on if the directory is at the top of the union stack or not :)
