I have heard this advice before, but have not tried it myself ... your mileage may vary. :) If you temporarily set up an alias on an interface of the server, it should send an error back to mountd. You "should" then be allowed to unmount the nfs share(s) safely. ...

I tried killall -HUP mountd but that didn't work. I cannot remove the directory name or unmount it, I just get device busy messages. Another sympton of this is when I am using KWrite, GVim, or any gui editor, and use file/open and navigate to the usr2 partition, it will hang and not show the two directories (the two differant nfs mounts from two other machines. One directory is the unmountable and the other is mounted and accessible from the term window, as regular user or root). I did search the archives which is where I found the killall -HUP mountd command. There must be a way to do this without a reboot? -- Chip W.
