You want to do this sngle user, and you want to issue magic ioctls to
purge any cached data first (I did this once, I can't remember if I
used an existing ioctl or hacked my driver directly, check the umount
paths though).  Whilst you should get consistency now, you can't
always be sure of this (and it never used to be so).
