System: NetBSD excalibur 1.0_BETA NetBSD 1.0_BETA (EXCALIBUR) #16: Thu Aug 11 01:27:41 EDT 1994 kenh@excalibur:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/EXCALIBUR i386


>Description:
Normally if you kill an NQNFS helper daemon, the filesystem associated with
that daemon is unmounted.  If the filesystem busy however, then the system
hangs.  It looks like the nqnfs_clientd() function is looping.  While normally
I'd classify this as a feature, it makes life awfully difficult when it comes
time to shutdown your machine gracefully.
>How-To-Repeat:
Mount a filesystem using NQNFS.  cd into it.  Either shutdown or kill off
the NQNFS daemon.
	
>Fix:
While this is almost certainly the wrong thing to do, the following patch fixes
the problem for shutdown, at least.
