Description Michael W Lucas 2001-11-09 19:30:01 UTC 
The Handbook mentions use of umount -f, but does not mention that
there is any risk involved with this.

This section of the Handbook also has several areas where hard tabs
are used instead of spaces.  Does this warrant a separate PR?

As someone else suggested, "might" is probably most appropriate here.
But thanks.

Patch attached.
