[Bug 1274678] [NEW] Unable to unmount nfsv3 when server is inaccessible

[Georg Lipps]

Public bug reported:

Afer haveing upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 (3.11.0-15-generic) I an unable to
unmount  nfsv3.

Setting: My NAS is only running a few hours per day. I have a script
mounting the NAS share when the NAS becomes available on the network.
The script also tries to  unmount the shares when the NAS shut downs.
This configuration was running without any problems under Ubuntu 12.10.
After upgrading to 13.10 the unmounting is not working anymore and the
computer is even not shuting down completely. I used to mount "hard"
without any problems now I tried "soft" but no success. Unmounting works
perfect as long as NAS is accessible.


georg at InaUbuntu:~$ mount
...
192.168.1.10:/media on /mnt/NAS/media type nfs (rw,soft,intr,tcp,actimeo=3,addr=192.168.1.10)
192.168.1.10:/backup on /mnt/NAS/backup type nfs (rw,soft,intr,tcp,actimeo=3,addr=192.168.1.10)


== NAS is turned off ===

georg at InaUbuntu:~$ lsof /mnt/NAS/backup

"stalled"

georg at InaUbuntu:~$ fuser -v /mnt/NAS/backup

"stalled"

georg at InaUbuntu:~$ sudo umount -l /mnt/NAS/backup
[sudo] password for georg:

"stalled"

georg at InaUbuntu:~$ sudo umount -f /mnt/NAS/backup

"stalled"

georg at InaUbuntu:~$ sudo umount -l -f /mnt/NAS/backup

"stalled"

/Var/syslog & dmesg remains "clean", no nfs related messages


georg at InaUbuntu:~$ nfsstat -m
/mnt/NAS/backup from 192.168.1.10:/backup

Any comments & help are highly appreciated. I cannot use nfs4 as it is not supported by NAS.

Best regards,

Georg
