Unmounting a non existant file system

[stevenriz]

We shut down a server that had a shared filesystem. Another server had that file system NFS mounted at the time of the shut down. Now we are getting server not responding: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out. I tried unmounting the NFS system but it's a no go. anyway other then a reboot to unmount this? I already made the change in the nfstab file. Thanks!!

Try to stop and start the NFS client

cd /etc/init.d
nfs.client stop
nfs.client start

Hope this helps, or in worst case do

who -r (should be run level 3)
init 2 (Bring it to run level 2)
who -r (should be run level 2 this time)
init 3 (Bringing back to run level 3)
