On FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 -f is enough, on SunOS it can be umounted if there are no stale handles on the mounted filesystem (killing holders of them fixes that). >How-To-Repeat: Get a disk crash on your nfs server and try to get things up again. A big hammer will probably do, if you don't happen to own any barracudas. >Fix: Force option should do something? >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
