Hi,

It seems like I can generate reproducible stale NFS mounts by mounting
a partition, chroot'ing into that mount, immediately exiting the
chroot, and then finding myself unable to unmount the NFS partition.
I'm pretty sure I've confirmed that nothing is using the partition
(both with fuser and lsof) and even tried to force umount the
partition (which seems like it should definitely umount it, rather
than returning with the same "device is busy" errors), to no avail.
The only method which I've used that seems to be able to get rid of
this NFS mount, is to reboot the NFS client, and clearly that's not a
good one at all.  If I'm missing something obvious here, my apologies
in advance.  Also, if there's any further information I can provide,
I'd be happy to help.  The dump of my procedure follows this message.

Thanks again and take care,
Daniel

Arggg... (Continuing above, appending to previous email's client
output, and sorry for leaving off some info...)

Here's my general system info, as well as a counterpoint successful
attempt (to hopefully narrow the search area) at unmounting the same
NFS fs, the only difference is that I didn't do a chroot into that
mount in the interim.  Hope this helps as well.

Take care,
Daniel

I wonder if bash, csh etc believe in this case that your NFS partition is actually 
still the root.  Try to make sure that the NFS partition is not the root possibly be exiting bash
and loging in again.

I'm probably wrong on this.

I see the same, though I have not tried to chroot.

It happens when I have run mozilla from a NFS mounted fs.

Both client and server is 2.4.16, but I have had this problem with older 
kernels. NFSv3 support is compiled in both kernels.

lsof and fuser reports that no files are in use, but I'm unable to 
unmount the filesystem. Btw. The filesystem is mounted ro. (and exported 
ro). The exported filesystem is a reiser-fs.

I would really be greatfull if this issue was to be resolved.

Thanks in advance
