Nice idea, but here's what happens in practice. When I kill'ed the mount
processes, they died off... but mount output still shows the mounts as hanging
around, and umount still shows the "multiple times" message! What makes it even
worse is that although mount thinks the mounts are active, the processes have
been killed, and doing an ls inside those mount points results in long waits and
timeouts.
