    If the NFS server is still down, you won't be able to unmount the
    filesystem.
    One way round it is to configure the NFS server IP address as an alias on
    another server. This should let you unmount the filesystem, then you can
    remove he alias.

    e.g. ifconfig en0 10.11.12.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias
    Unmount filesystem
    ifconfig en0 10.11.12.13 delete

Subject: nfs problem
Got an AIX 4.3.3 box that we are having some nfs problems with.  The server
hosting the NFS share crashed.  Now on the NFS client box (AIX server) we
are unable to umount the filesystem.  After issuing the umount -f command,
we get
umount: 1831-015 16 error while unmounting host:/nfs -
The requested resource is busy.
We cant find any processes using the filesystem and have tried fuser.  Any
other ideas?
