That's all handled by the VFS. All NFS knows is that the VFS told it to clean up the super block because it is no longer in use. The calls to nfs4_proc_destroy_session() and nfs4_destroy_clientid() will both eventually time out and allow the unmount to complete. So it is not as if this is a permanent hang that forces you to reboot. -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer, Hammerspace trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
