ther is a problem with this solution: you need to check all dependant
systems and stop them, so you could umount the file system (i.e. kill any
process that holds files open on that file system) and after that you need
to start the relevant processes again.
another problem: if this file system is exported via NFS, and is currently
mounted by a different machine, restarting the NFS server would (as far as
i noticed) pause a few minutes of service disturbance to the remote
machine (most likely freezing processes that try to access this file
system, during that period).
