I think part of the problem is that /redouble is also mounted from the same server and is likely to be stale. There's no way around this given the present NFS situation. You may be able to eliminate the possibility by changing the way you mount things - at first glance it doesn't seem like there's a need for two separate mounts. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030623 Description of problem: I rebooted an NFS server while my RHL8.0 box had two NFS volumes mounted. That should work because NFS is stateless, right? I'm not trying to unmount the volumes. umount(8) suggests -f for a situation related to mine. As you can see below, mount -f is not working for me. Is this a bug? Is there a way I can solve the problem without rebooting?
