I am unable to mount/umount anything after messing with my /etc/mtab
last night (I had removed a floppy without umounting it, and was
getting "Device busy" when I tried to remount/umount it, so I nuked
the floppy line in mtab, without backing it up, yay). Now when I try
to mount or umount something, the command just hangs. Any idea how to
reset this? Renaming /etc/mtab doesn't seem to help! Neither does
rebooting! (Of course, the box won't shutdown cleanly since it can't
umount anything, although for some reason it does mount stuff on
boot-up.)
