ops... I know, it's my fault ... I've forget to say that the physical point was removed and no more avaiable.
That means: what I'm trying to do is to umount a mount point looking at a nfs no more existing. I've all the process like bdf and fuser freezed.
I think a stop/start of nfs.client or a mountall will help me, but I'm worry about loosing other active mounted points.
tks vbe for your interesting Smilie

If its the case:
Code:
/usr/bin/ps -ef | /usr/bin/grep rpc.statd
/usr/bin/kill PID
/usr/bin/ps -ef | /usr/bin/grep rpc.lockd
/usr/bin/kill PID

/usr/sbin/rpc.statd
/usr/sbin/rpc.lockd

---------------------------------------------
Always start rpc.statd before starting rpc.lockd.

Heck hard work replying with phone and people in the office... (8 AIX servers in trouble...)

After you try to stop nfs client, check again with ps and kill whatever nfscleint process you find and stop all rpc stuff then try to umount your NFS stuff then restart rpc and nfs client.

So we have decided for a reboot.
Anyway, thanks vbe Smilie

Well, look at man 1m mount_nfs, to see if you cannot find better mount options to tune more adequately (-o soft may not be a good idea but worth trying...) theres plenty to play with...

All the best
