That works if you don't have a process blocked on IO to stale mount. IME fuser -k and umount -f don't work on these; reboot is the fastest way to clear it. It gets particularly bad when you have a bunch of servers exporting some FS's and nfs-mounting some others. Then you end up with dependency loops where rebooting one server creates stale mounts on others. Loads of fun. But this is way OT.
