Re: [CentOS] nfs stuck, don't know what processes to kill

My NFS server is up and other clients can access x. One particular client can't. I tried to unmount the NFS share:

[root@nfsclient ~]# umount -f /disk/x umount2: Device or resource busy umount.nfs: /disk/x: device is busy umount2: Device or resource busy umount.nfs: /disk/x: device is busy

If I use df or lsof to try to figure out what process to kill, they hang. I am reluctant to just reboot, as many other users are getting stuff done. dmesg doesn't show anything useful.

How to get unstuck?

*IF* I understand what you're saying, on that one client, you're trying to umount the nfs share. Is that the case?

IF that is the case... is autofs running? If so, service autofs stop, and you should be able to umount it.
