Thanks Christos ... but it does not work.

njoly@lanfeust [~]> sudo umount -v /mount/banks
/ifs/pasteur/services/banques: unmount from /mount/banks
umount: no <host>:<dirpath> or <dirpath>@<host> spec
Bad MNT RPC: RPC: Timed out

The attached patch does take care of the first line of output
(getnfsargs() expect host+path but the host part has been
removed previously from mntpt).

After that, still no luck ...

njoly@lanfeust [~]> sudo umount -v /mount/banks
/ifs/pasteur/services/banques: unmount from /mount/banks
umount: can't get net id for host "atlas.pasteur.fr": ai_socktype not supported
Bad MNT RPC: RPC: Timed out

No idea how to solve this one.

Thanks for your help.
