I'll actually have it unmounting my 500GB xfs storage drive and
killing mpd to do it ... colinux in windows (running Gentoo,
obviously), samba, and winamp... I've gone without my music far too
much in the past, it won't be happening again if I can help it. :-P
... I do simply hibernate windows most of the time, though... so I'll
need to come up with something to go through unmounting that storage
from the colinux side on hibernate, and picking it back up when it
comes back up...
