nfs problems

antonio di paolo — Wed, 26 Jan 2005 09:17:34 GMT

a very, very good 700/915, after a lot of years working fine, is dead!
A b2000 hp-ux 11.0 was her nfs client.
I'm not able to umonunt on the b2000 the nfs file system, it happens busy.
Fuser d'nt works. rm -R, rmdir also.If i try an ll the message is: "NFS server hp9 is not responding still trying".
If i edit /etc/mnttab someone rewrite the reference to the expired file system.
How to resolve this problem?
Grazie

The only way to fix this is to reboot the b2000. NFS just won't let go of the mount otherwise.

You will have to (sigh) reboot....

I am adding to the chorus.

Reboot.

The NFS process will not let go.

Hi,

before reboot you should edit /etc/fstab and comment out the lines of the nfs server.

Hi Grazie

1. Do not edit the /etc/mnttab that is for the OS to keep track of the mounts.
2. The file is /etc/fstab
3. If you are getting really desperate ... look at /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf. If you change the lines
NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
to
NFS_CLIENT=0
NFS_SERVER=0
nfs will not function on reboot. You might need this if you have some automounting going on.
3. Reboot will clear it.
