Just to clarify. 

I have a shell open that's currently hung doing an umount. So start another
shell and do the lazy umount?

If that hangs as well, then reboot?


Thanks

Yeah, looks like it couldn't write to the log, so it marked the file 
system as down.  Believe it or not, this may have saved you ...

Do a

        umount -l /xfs/mount/point

and wait a bit.  It will do the umount in the background.  Put a 
"noauto" option on this in the /etc/fstab just in case  you need to reboot.

BTW:  Which kernel is this?  The stock Centos kernels xfs support comes 
from centosplus.  Support for xfs isn't bad, but in general, the 
RHEL/Centos kernels aren't (in our experience) stable against very heavy 
loads, nor are they terribly good with xfs.  5.5 is better.

Joe
