NFS Filesystem Unmounting

Does anyone know of a way within UNIX 11.11 to force an unmount of a NFS filesystem that has gone stale?

hi,

Check with any one using the
file system, with fuser
command

fuser -cu (file system)

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

you can try umount the now,
if does not works, then
reboot the system only is
only option.

Clifton,

Sekar gave resonable answers. Was there something that you think was missed?

If its a hard mount ( by default its hard mount ) then you reexport the directory from the exporting server . YOur client serevr should be able to mount it again . If not then mount it and then unmount it . It should not show stale again .

If it soft mount , it will try to mount it for certain period then give up and should not show up as stale .

If none of this works , then rebot is the only option .
