Other than the fact that you displayed the mount values for disco1, not
disco2?

How about "umount -n"?  I wonder if the problem is that umount has to write
to /etc/mtab?

btw, are you sure you really want it to be mounted with the "users" option
and not "user"?  aiui, if user "luca" mounts disco2, user "acul" could
umount it (provided it's not in use).  If you use "user", then after "luca"
mounts the fs, only "luca" or "root" can umount it.
