Hi, I have two machines running FreeBSD 2.1 that mount a volume from a Novell server. Yesterday the disk on the Novell server was changed and now I get the following error when accessing that mount point: --> zibbi:/FreeBSD # ls -l /mikomtek1/vol1 --> ls: /mikomtek1/vol1: Stale NFS file handle I tried to umnount it but got the following error: --> zibbi:/FreeBSD # umount -f /mikomtek1/vol1 --> umount: m1fs28:/vol1: No such file or directory The volume was mounted read-only. Surely you should be able to forcibly umnount a volume even if its server does not exist anymore? Is there anyway short of rebooting the FreeBSD machine to fix this? Our HP unix machines had no trouble umnounting the same volume. John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@csir.co.za
