[Bug 178650] Re: umount errors (patch)

[linuxball]

I'm running Hardy with davfs2 package 1.2.1-3ubuntu1 and I can confirm
what Adrian has posted:

If environment variable I_WANT_A_BROKEN_PS is not set then "umount
<davfs_mount_point>" will output the error message:

  $ umount  /home/reimer/gmx
  /sbin/umount.davfs: 
    can't find mount.davfs-process with pid 27246;
    trying to unmount anyway.
    you propably have to remove /var/run/mount.davfs/home-reimer-gmx.pid manually
 
Setting the environment variable I_WANT_A_BROKEN_PS can be used as work around for this bug. I set an alias in .bashrc to do this:

  alias umount='I_WANT_A_BROKEN_PS=1 umount'

Now umount works:
  $ umount  /home/reimer/gmx
  /sbin/umount.davfs: waiting while mount.davfs (pid 27659) synchronizes the cache ... OK
