I guess an active NFS request could still hold the fs active, but that should complete fairly quickly. file locking might be an issue. Might a client have a lock on some file in the filesystem? Failover of locks is rather more complicated that simple file-access fail-over. I don't recall what the status of this is currently. When the umount files, check the content of /proc/net/rpc/nfsd.export/content and /proc/locks to check what is actually using the filesystem.
