Help:NFS mknod failed

this is existing issue for this nfs client, which mounts windows exported
file system, and this is only one UNIX box has this problem, other boxes are
fine.

Here is from messages file.

Jan 24 03:11:10 venus nfs: [ID 664466 kern.notice] NFS mknod failed for
server arc: error 2 (RPC: Can't decode result)
Jan 24 03:11:11 venus last message repeated 5 times
Jan 24 08:09:43 venus ip: [ID 390400 kern.notice] dst FFFFFFFF src 7F000001


I can't umount it with -f, or fuser -k, it just stuck there after issued
command.

And this only thing to resolve it is to reboot this nfs client, which is
very annoying.

Please help.

NAME
umount.nfs, umount.nfs4 - unmount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
umount.nfs dir [-fvnrlh ] DESCRIPTION
umount.nfs and umount.nfs4 are a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. umount.nfs4 and umount.nfs are meant to be used by the umount(8) command for unmounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. dir is the directory on which the file system is mounted. OPTIONS
-f Force unmount the file system in case of unreachable NFS system. -v Be verbose. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip delet- ing an entry. -r In case unmounting fails, try to mount read-only. -l Lazy unmount. Detach the file system from the file system hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the file system as soon as it is not busy anymore. -h Print help message. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and umount(8) manual pages. FILES
