Hi All,

How do I unmount an NFS share when the NFS server is unaivalable?

I tried "umount /bck" but it "hangs" indefinitely "umount -f /bck" tells me the mount if busy and I can't unmount it:

Try:

umount -f -l /bck

HTH,

Thanx, that worked :)

How does one mount an NFS share, to avoid system timeouts when the remove NFS server is offline?

Mount? Or unmount?

If unmount, then, just create a simple script that will ping the server and then run the above command if it doesn’t respond.

HTH,
