Unmounting a file system after NFS export

Because NFS use of a GPFS file system might result in a file being held, attempting to unmount a GPFS file system might return a Device is busy error. If this occurs, stop the NFS daemons before attempting to unmount the file system at the NFS server.
  • For KNFS on Linux®, issue this command:
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop
  • On AIX®, issue this command:
    stopsrc -g nfs
NFS can be restarted after the unmount completes.
  • For KNFS on Linux, issue this command:
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
  • For AIX, issue this command:
    startsrc -g nfs
