:Um, no. mount don't get the list of mounted fs's from there. mount get the
:list of fs's to mount from fstab, along with default options for different
:fs's to mount. There is a big difference.

:> Use the -R option: ``umount -R /mnt/''

The -R option is also useful if you've used symbolic links in the mount
paths.
