[ClusterLabs] NFS mount fails to stop if NFS server is lost

[Miro Igov]

Force -f is improper in situations when NFS server is gone.

I have node intranet-test2 with nfs mount and nas-sync-test2 with NFS server and export resources.

I made following experiment:

1.	Paused the VM running nas-sync-test2 so cluster lost the member
2.	Executed umount -f /folder and it displayed error umount.nfs4: /folder: device is busy
3.	Executed umount -f -l /folder and all fine

 

Reference: https://askubuntu.com/questions/292043/how-to-unmount-nfs-when-server-is-gone

 

Is it possible to add the lazy -l option to the umount ?

What about umount -f -l ?

It does it unconditionally from the very beginning

# For networked filesystems, there's merit in trying -f:
case "$FSTYPE" in
nfs4|nfs|efs|cifs|smbfs) umount_force="-f" ;;
esac

But IIRC it is not enough (at least, not always) - so the trick is to 
setup the same IP address as server had. It could be an alias on a local 
client interface, does not matter. I suppose client gets stuck somewhere 
below application layer and having IP resets TCP connection allowing it 
to proceed.

I certainly had to do it in the past, and simple "umount -f" did not work.
