>Organization:
Virtual Estates, Inc.
>Environment:

	The server is turned off...

>Description:

	There is no way (short of reboot) to get rid of an NFS
	mounted filesystem if the NFS server is not reachable.

	This is a shame and the only reason Severity is not set
	to "critical" is because it's been like for a long time.

>How-To-Repeat:

	root@ditto:/home/mi (100) mount -o ro vortex:/ /mnt
	[Now, shutdown vortex]
	root@ditto:/home/mi (101) mount
	[...]
	vortex:/ on /mnt (read-only)
	[...]
	root@ditto:/home/mi (102) umount -f vortex:/ &
	[Hangs forever]
	root@ditto:/home/mi (103) umount -f /mnt &
	[Hangs forever]
