> Right! umount and mount with -b option

As I suspected.  Telling a user to use 'umount' is rather difficult, as you
have to tell them first to run 'mount' and write down the paths of all of
the mounts that don't have the noumount or binmode flags, then 'umount' each
of them, then run 'mount -s -b ...' for each of the mounts that was
unmounted.  That leaves a lot of room for error compared to just telling
them to use setup.exe to change the mount modes.
