Cannot umount - stale NFS file handle
122582Apr 2 2013 — edited Apr 3 2013Hi,
We are trying to clean up an nfs mount that is no longer valid, but it seems to be stuck. A "ls -la" shows a lot of "?" and umount produces a "Stale NFS file handle" error. Umount with "-f" tells us that it is "not found in /proc/mounts".
[oracle@xxx mnt]$ ls -la
ls: cannot access ftpd002: Stale NFS file handle
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Mar 20 14:41 .
dr-xr-xr-x. 27 root root 4096 Jan 4 03:07 ..
d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? ftpd002
[oracle@xxx mnt]$ sudo umount ftpd002
umount: ftpd002: Stale NFS file handle
[oracle@nzxpdb259 mnt]$ sudo umount -f /mnt/ftpd002
/mnt/ftpd002 was not found in /proc/mounts
/mnt/ftpd002 was not found in /proc/mounts
Thanks!
