System name:		fries
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2R
Display type:		SM

-- What were you trying to do?

	umount a filsys from a server that had crashed...

-- What's wrong:

	I was logged in overnight, and I came in this morning and saw
this message on my console:

	04:47 WARNING vd0: Server crashed: unmount, spindown and spinup again

(chiroptera crashed last night, which is where e40-vssys lives.)  I
luckily had a root shell available, so I tried:

	fries / # umount /srvd
	/srvd: No such device or address

Which, I guess is a bug.  John Carr asked me to send this in.  He also
said that perhaps this bug has been fixed already, since chiroptera is
still running 7.0 or something.

So, we ended up doing this instead:

	fries / # vdstats
	Maximum of 10 drives.

	Drive   Mode    Status  State            Blocks Server          Name
	 0       r       0     server crashed   297024 chiroptera      vssys72r
	fries / # spindown 0
	spindown: drive 0 : Device busy
	fries / # spindown -f 0
	fries / # spinup 0 chiroptera vssys72r r

And then all was well...

-- What should have happened:

	I dunno.  umount should've worked.  chiroptera shouldn't have
crashed.

-- Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	The console message I listed above...?
