I rebooted it earlier but forgot to send mail. It had the usual LVM
failure about "login" being in use. I tried to kill off a bunch of
processes, and /proc/*/root was convinced there were no chrooted processes
and lsof/fuser were convinced there were no open filehandles in the
snapshot, but I still couldn't umount /login, so I gave up and rebooted
it.
