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!
