Hello,
We have one server hosting the home directories via an NFS share for all the
other Linux boxes. We needed to reboot the system and when attempting to
"umount -f" the NFS /home shares on the other machines we get the following
error;
Cannot MOUNTPROG RPC: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive
umount:
How can we unmount this NFS share without rebooting the systems? Some
machines actually hang on the RPC indefinitely during shutdown.
Thank you in advance,
James
