HowTo_ClearingNFS_HangUps

@@ -15 +15 @@
 Occasionally, the nfs client will have entries in the automount directory that are not listed in 'df'.  This can happen and not cause problems if the nfs entry was somehow misplaced in /etc/mtab.  However, sometimes the directory will hang on any interactions.  In these cases, a simple umount of the filesystem usually does not fix the problem.  Sometimes umount -f may fix it, but my success this was has been sporadic.  The following script seems to be generally successful (though sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries of the script).  In this example, the nfs partition is coming from ipp009:/export/ipp009.0 and is automounted to /data/ipp009.0.
