So, this has been asked all over the interweb for years and years, but the best answer I can find is to reboot the system or create a fake NFS server somewhere with the same IP as the gone-away NFS server. The problem is: I have some mounts to an NFS server that no longer exists (crashed/powered down). I have some processes stuck trying to write to files open on these mounts. I want to kill the process and unmount. umount -l will make the mount go a way, sort of. But process is still hung. umount -f complains: umount2: Device or resource busy umount.nfs: /mnt/foo: device is busy kill -9 does not work on process. Aside from bringing a fake NFS server back up on the same IP, is there any other way to get these mounts unmounted and the processes killed without rebooting?
