In my /etc/exports file I just have the rw option. After that I manually mount the nfs volume by doing: mount -t nfs host:/home/gerry /mnt/nfs This successfully mounts host:/home/gerry on the mount point /mnt/nfs. The problem I'm getting is if I forget and reboot "host" then I can't umount this volume. Generally I end up having to reboot to get this to release. It sure doesn't unmount just by umount /mnt/nfs There's got to be a more gracefull way of unmounting an nfs volume if the server disappears.
