Hmm? we tend to give up when we can't unmount something, log about it
and go on. We also have a second shutdown phase, which is a dumb and
brutal kill/umount loop that kills remaining processes and removes
mounts in a tight loop until nothing changes anymore. This second
phase is a safety net only though: it takes care of stuff that somehow
survive the first phase, i.e. the clean phase.
