I have mounted a win98 machine from a ML8.1 samba 2.2.2

The win98 machine, as all windows machines do, crashed on me. 

Now i can't unmount the mounted folder, If i do it from cli, i get

umount usr/Cad12: device busy.

If i try and cd to that folder, the console freezes and only kill
application will shut it down.

I tried as su and on another Virtual console as root, but it will not
umount. I've shut down the win98 machine and powered it up again. But it
still will not umount.

Also how do i kill a virtual console which is not responding.


Many thanks

Ken
