Hello,

did you try to make an umount /MOUNTPOINT? This is normaly working if there
are no opend files on this share. If there are you should be sure that they
can not be damaged and close all applications using those files (espacially
all servers) or try an umount -f /MOUNTPOINT. Last would be to stop the nfs
server daemon.

Isn't Stoping the NFS server deamon affect/stop all the Drives that are
Mounted using NFS.

Hello,

stopping the nfsd was only the last try if nothing else works. Did you try
the other possibilities?
