Hi everybody, I am very confused about how to actually unmount a NFS filesystem that has gone stray. I am currently writing a script that switches between the main and backup servers according to their state, but when testing it, everything seems to halt at unmounting the dead fs.
I tested it by mounting an export on a client, and then changing the server's IP address or switching it completely off. When umount (or umount -f) is called on the client to detach the dead filesystem before mounting the export of the backup server, it stood still. Some googling informed me that rebooting is the only way to get rid of the stale fs but others say that a umount -f should free up the mount if it is mounted soft. The flags I use are -3isl -R1 -t5 -D5 -r32768 -w32768 and still I can't unmount it. Please give me a hand... any help would be appreciated. - Jeremy _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
