It's been a year or so, but it worked for me. No, I didn't, but I got it mounted anyway. (mount uses a privileged port when I start it as root.) The solution to the first problem of my original mail was to also send a kill -HUP to nfsd -- unlike FreeBSD, where a -HUP to mountd is sufficient. (This explains, why the mount itself succeded but no data were transmitted.) The other problem, however, still remains: How to get rid of an NFS-mounted FS when the remote side goes down and/or the mounted directory is no longer available. Even `umount -f' does not work.
