                This morning I wanted to edit an ISO to instruct the kernel to 
redirect its
                output to serial.
                
                i.e 
                
                # sudo vnconfig -v -c /dev/vn0 5.3-BETA1-i386-miniinst.iso
                # sudo mount -t cd9660 -o rw /dev/vn0 /mnt
                # sudo tcsh
                # echo "/boot/loader -h" > boot.config
                boot.config: Read-only file system.
                
                Forget the afforementioned error. 
                
                The problem that I have is now when I issue a df(1) my shell hangs: 
                
                e.g.
                
                # df -h
                ^C^C^D
                ^C^C^D
                
                # ps -aux | grep df 
                username 3333  0.0  0.0   212   96  p2  D+    9:04AM   0:00.00 df -h
                username 3332  0.0  0.0   212   96  p1  D+    9:04AM   0:00.00 df -h
                
                # kill -9 3333 3332
                
                # ps -aux | grep df
                username 3333  0.0  0.0   212   96  p2  D+    9:04AM   0:00.00 df -h
                username 3332  0.0  0.0   212   96  p1  D+    9:04AM   0:00.00 df -h
                
                No change.
                
                I'm not sure what has hung here, nor am I sure how to 'un-hang' my 
shell.
                
                Any thoughts anyone ?
                
                 - aW
                
        
        To follow up to my own question, an NFS server not responding .... DOH !
        
         - aW

To follow-up again, why doesn't this work ?

# sudo umount -v -t nfs -f /cdrom/ports/distfiles

Just hangs.

Surely you can force an un-mount of an NFS filesystem ?
