Message-ID: <f29c359475cf135f2a87fb4d89dac95a@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)

you can remove a device from your namespace
using unmount, but in most (all?) cases, that doesn't
make the device stop talking to the underlying hardware or
whatever it does.

the devices typically are initialized before you
bind them into the namespace, so it makes a little sense
that they don't get torn down just because you don't
have them in your namespace anymore.
