Use force_unmount options

This is interesting.

We very often see the filesystems fail to umount on busy clustered NFS
servers.

What is the nature of the "real fix"?

I like the idea of NFSD fully being in user space, so killing it would
definitely free the fs.

Alan Brown (who's on this list) recently posted to a RH BZ that he was
one of the people who moved it into kernel space for performance reasons
in the past (that are no longer relevant):

, but I doubt this is the fix you have in mind.
