Hello,
How to unmount the hanging nfs filesystems. If you know a way of doing this without rebooting, please let me know.

Thank You.

We have been able in the past to get through that issue by commenting out the NFS filesystem in the /etc/filesystems file.
You may or may not be able to do that. But it's worth a try.

Someone else may have a better idea.
It has worked for us.
Good luck.

Forgot to say you still have to do the umount command.
Sorry.

If all fails try "refresh -g nfs" both on server and client, but this is gonna stink... I have done that some time back, but not sure about the exact path I took. Lets say I succeeded by accident.

Hello,

In nfs client you will get "Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on", if your source filesystem is unmounted you will get "/dev/XXXX - - - - - /mount point" in such case you have to export the source again and unmount forcefully.

To avoid this you can use autofs.It will mount whenever you need and unmount automatically if it is not needed..,
