One should be able to use ps to find the PID of the mounts and kill them directly i believe.
ps ax | grep mount
then kill -9 the corresponding PID's
Nice idea, but here's what happens in practice. When I kill'ed the mount processes, they died off... but mount output still shows the mounts as hanging around, and umount still shows the "multiple times" message! What makes it even worse is that although mount thinks the mounts are active, the processes have been killed, and doing an ls inside those mount points results in long waits and timeouts.
OK... tried and seen...
as root#: umount -f <the mount point>; umount <the mount point>;
This worked for me when i tried it...
