Unmount a busy NFS share



Hello,

I want to unmount a busy NFS share, but failed to do so, even with a
umount -f.

$ mount | grep mothermole
blackbox.l33t.lan:/mothermole on /mothermole type nfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,hard,intr,addr=192.168.0.3)
$ umount /mothermole
umount: /mothermole: device is busy
umount: /mothermole: device is busy
$ umount -f /mothermole 
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /mothermole: device is busy
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /mothermole: device is busy

I also tried a ``fuser /mothermole'' to see which process blocks the
mountpoint, but that just hangs, I aborted after some minutes. I'm
really sure that the direcory is not used by any shell or something.
The NFS server has been down for several days and probably will be so
for some time.

Any suggestions? I really don't want to reboot for this.


Greetings,
Frank
