Hello,

I am mounting a solaris folder (/export/home) by adding to /etc/fstab
on a linux station the following:

192.168.0.10:/export/home /mnt/solaris nfs auto,rw

where 192.168.0.10 is the address of the solaris station.

I am running mount -a, and the solaris folder is mounted OK.
( The solaris station is up when the mount -a is issued)

Then it happens sometimes that the solaris station is down for
long periods of time.

If I try from the Linux station:
umount /mnt/solaris
it hangs.

As far as I know, that's exactly what umount's -f (force) option is intended for.
man umount and look for the -f option.
