[MLUG] NFS

[Jason Youngquist <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I have an NFS share that is currently mounted and would like to unmount
it.  The problem is that the computer which is exporting the NFS shares
has been shutdown.  When we try to unmount the NFS shares it says "device
busy".  I haven't been able to successfully force an unmount of the NFS
shares.  We ran into this problem before and since we couldn't unmount the
NFS shares we tried rebooting the computer.  The computer would't shutdown
so we had to hit the power botton.  [We're running ext2 right now and
hopefully soon move over to ext3 or xfs]  I'd really like to have a clean
shutdown but I don't think that is possible with the NFS shares pointing
to a server that is currently down.  I could try to bring the box that was
exporting the NFS shares up, but I think its hard drives have been
formatted.

Is there any way to do this gracefully, or just hit the power button and
hope the box comes back up?
