Actually, I have tested this in the CentOS environment. The remount
does work... I actually *wanted* to know whether that was enough, and
it was. The idea being that often times a filesystem cannot be
unmouted because of production requirements. Nevertheless I will no
rest until I reboot the machine and see what effect it has in getting
an answer.
