Subject: race-free exportfs and unmount?
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2014 14:17:13 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <532C9E49.2030007@windriver.com> (raw)


Hi,

There was a linux-nfs thread in July 2012 with the subject "Linux NFS 
and cached properties".  It discussed the fact that you can't reliably do

exportfs -u 192.168.1.11:/mnt
umount /mnt

since there could be rpc users still running when exportfs returns, so 
the umount fails thinking the filesystem is busy.

I'm running into this on a production system.

Was anything ever done to resolve this issue?
If not are there any workarounds?

Please cc me, I'm not subscribed to the list.

Chris
