No, I didn't, but I got it mounted anyway.
(mount uses a privileged port when I start it as root.)

The solution to the first problem of my original mail was to
also send a kill -HUP to nfsd -- unlike FreeBSD, where a -HUP
to mountd is sufficient.
(This explains, why the mount itself succeded but no data were
transmitted.)

The other problem, however, still remains:
How to get rid of an NFS-mounted FS when the remote side goes down
and/or the mounted directory is no longer available.
Even `umount -f' does not work.


With thanks,
