  a) Is a feature of the 'mount' program. An NFS server should in any
     case not rely on the umount being sent: a client may have crashed
     or been firewalled, or whatever...

  b) Is a kernel feature which will never trigger if you are passing a
     correct filehandle from your mountd.

Cheers,
