Peter Wemm once stated: =That's because umount (in it's infinite wisdom) tries to stat() the =argument to see what file type (/dev node) or directory it is (and resolve =symlinks and other wierd things). This causes the NFS hang. If the client is SGI, it is possible to drop the dead mount with umount server:/server/path if umount /client/path hangs. I'm glad to see someone else agreeing here. It seems incredibly stupid if a reboot is required to get rid of the hanging nfs mount point. -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
