My problem is we have many NFS servers and clients. The client mounts to the servers using /net/serverA/dirA. When server A is decommissioned all the clients hand on `df`. I was wondering if there is a clean way to unmount the server instead of rebooting clients (100+ clients). I am try doing a lazy unmount but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.
Why not ifup the decommissioned IP on another server/pc just long enough for the clients to umount? I think you do not even need to have a nfs server listing on it...
