No, sorry, I should have given an example:
* <-- /cdrom on beta is mounted
9:36 pion: /root 0#% mount -t nfs -o soft beta:/cdrom /mnt
* <-- /cdrom on beta gets umounted
9:36 pion: /root 0#% ll /mnt
ls: mnt: Stale NFS file handle
9:36 pion: /root 0#% umount /mnt
umount: beta:/cdrom: No such file or directory
9:36 pion: /root 1#% umount -f /mnt
umount: beta:/cdrom: No such file or directory
9:36 pion: /root 1#% mount
[..]
beta:/cdrom on /mnt
[ There was another question on this list, with a hanging umount.
But I don't have the mail right here. ]
