the nfs server continues not to respond, still causing the same problems. Trying to umount /sunsite gets: Cannot MOUNTPROG RPC: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out umount: /sunsite: device is busy
The kernel logs also contain: nfs_revalidate_inode: /// getattr failed, ino=2, error=-512 Is this a kernel bug? surely a dead nfs server shouldn't cause such problems?
