I use mount_nfs remote:dir /mnt to mount the remote directory and it works just fine. When I try "umount /mnt" I get a message saying that /mnt is not currently mounted, yet "mount" (alone) reports it as regularly mounted. The only way I've found to unmount the filesystem is to reboot, but this is rather unpractical :-) Thanks in advance, Bo.
