I tried it without particular care one time on a failing device and
experienced an instant system reboot (was it caused by the faulty disk
or by a limitation in the implementation of the system (FreeBSD 5.x at
that time), I can't be sure). Since then, I have never tried to force
the unmounting of any device in favor of rebooting the system.

In fact, crawling the PR database already reports problems about forcing
unmounting of devices [kern/77026, kern/102250, usb/46176, ...].

So I prefer to be sure that everything is safe (not mounted read/write)
before trying anything that can lead to data loss.
