Hi
Question for you UNIX gurus...
How do you unmount a NFS filesystem that is no longer exported?
I've done a baddy and reconfiged the exports on a NFS host and now my
NetBSD box cannot unmount the NFS file system..
umount gives no error, but on mount the mounted NFS filesystem stays...
doing a cd into the directory give: Stale NFS file handle.
What is the recommened way of doing the umount?
I've tried all the switches in the umount(1) man page - I think.
I 'can' fixit by rebooting, but this is UNIX!
