So the only "useful" method on FreeBSD should be poll, is it correct?
I mean, the one that should be used.
But this is what I've got from the gamin debug:
...
Dumping mounted file systems
ufs filesystem mounted at /mnt/aux2
ufs filesystem mounted at /mnt/aux1
...
Dumping file system properties
...
fstype ufs monitor kernel poll timeout 0
...
So it seems poll is used for /mnt/aux1 and /mnt/aux2 which are ufs fs.
Nevertheless I'm unable to umount them.
