James,
It's -l (ell) as in 'lazy'. From "man umount":
-l Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the
filesystem hierarchy now, and cleanup all refer�
ences to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy
anymore. (Requires kernel 2.4.11 or later.)
This has always worked for me, but it may be a different problem. My problem
seems to be that our NT "server" is disconnecting shares after a timeout
period, and Samba doesn't automatically re-connect. This seems to occurr
with Samba (at least) 2.2.3 - 2.2.5...
Anyhow, Todd's suggestion of "-f" (force) is probably more appropriate... :)
