- Of course, depending on your definition of "safe", it can also be
- considered safe to kill the client even if you still have mounts. Any
- I/O to mounted drives will start getting an error (which may in turn
- cause some applications to crash), but you won't crash your system,
- which is definitely on my definition of "unsafe" :-)
