nfs issue

[navin]

what is the best way to umount the nfs dir ....
when i get error as

# umount /homes/userid
umount: cannot find /homes/userid in /etc/mnttab
cannot unmount /homes/userid

pls help

What do you get with the command:

bdf /homes/userid

The message indicates that /homes/userid is not a mounted filesystem. Perhaps /homes is the mountpoint? Or /homes is really spelled /home?

[navin]

/homes is the mount point
thanks

You need to

# umount /homes

then.

Trying to umount a directory under a mount point won't work.
