Woohoo! Thanks Peter.

You are correct. I just built and installed util-linux-2.10s
from source. I ran through the cross-mounting scenario
and was able to unmount all the partitions on the USB
external drive and then unload all the USB drivers.

Perhaps util-linux-2.10s should be made the new default
listed in Documentation/Changes?

Cheers,
Miles
