Ideal if it was working, but I seem to remember trying it and it made no difference. Me thinks I tried it on a non-nfsfs though, and -f might only work with nfsfs? The other options I can see are fiddling the timeouts in the mount options, or using fuser to kill things off before umount. As I said earlier, the mount options hard/soft/intr are useless in this case (no way to pass any signal to the blocking process). Volker
