I just managed to get detach to think it detached my file system,
while I was using it.
I've been doing editing on one machine, and compiling on another, so
in between compiler runs I've been "detaching" my file system, to get
buffers flushed before it failed to unmount, so that it would have to
go back to the server for (updated) information. (Otherwise I got an
old "length" of a file, with newer data, and they didn't match.)
I interrupted one run of detach, and the next one failed to come back
with an error message. The run after that said "raeburn: Not
attached". Oops.
(The whole time, my working directory was my home directory, so it
couldn't be -- and wasn't -- unmounted.)
