2. On every NFS client that has the directory mounted, issue the

following command for a list of the process IDs and user names of

everyone using the mounted directory:

/usr/sbin/fuser -u servername:/directory

3. Warn any users to cd out of the directory, and kill any processes that

are using the directory, or wait until the processes terminate. You

can use the following command to kill all processes using the

directory:

/usr/sbin/fuser -ck local_mount_point

4. On every NFS client that has the directory mounted, issue the

following command to unmount the directory:

/usr/sbin/umount local_mount_point

/usr/sbin/umount servername:/directory

5. On every NFS client that had the directory mounted, use a text

editor to comment out or remove the line in the /etc/fstab file that

lists the directory you want to unexport. This prevents clients from

attempting to mount the directory when they reboot.

6. On every client that has the directory configured to be automounted,

edit the /etc/auto_* files to comment out or remove the directory

from the automounter maps. Clients that automount the directory

may not be listed by the showmount command.

If you are using NIS to manage your automounter maps, edit the

/etc/auto_* files on the NIS master server, and then issue the

following commands to regenerate the maps and push them to the

slave servers:

cd /var/yp

/usr/ccs/bin/make auto.mapname auto.mapname ...

If you are using NIS+ to manage your automounter maps, see “To

Remove an Entry from an NIS+ Table” on page 242.

7. If you modified any direct automounter maps or the automounter

master map, restart the automounter. See “To Restart the

Automounter” on page 92.

8. On the NFS server, use a text editor to remove the line in the

/etc/exports file that lists the directory you want to unexport.
