Force unmount (umount) of a hung NFS share

By agatewood Linux Comments Off on Force unmount (umount) of a hung NFS share

When an NFS share gets hung and a standard ‘umount /mnt/share’ yields something like:

umount.nfs: 10.1.1.15:/nfs/share: not found / mounted or server not reachable

Try to force it with a ‘lazy’ unmount (umount):

umount -l /mnt/share
