I can see where this would be a nice feature, but what do you do in the
case where JoeBob gets the CD and mounts his NiftyCool(tm) XXTP Server
CD and starts up his xxtpd running from the CD then logs out, or runs
xxtpd which does a chdir() into the CD-mounted directory?  Do you kill
off any process which is currently accessing the mounted directory, or
do you just let it go and leave it mounted?  Should it be a run-time
option in /etc/fbtab or equivalent?  If the unmount fails or is not
performed for some reason, you probably don't want to change the
owner or permissions on the device.
