To get the space back I ended up commenting out the line from /etc/exports, running "exportfs -r", then umounting and mounting it. I didn't check whether the space was free after running "exportfs -r", it probably was.
Wouldn't it have been enough to unmount & remount? That's long [1] been enough to clear stale NFS file handles for me. (And so I'd expect df to then report OK for you.)
umount/mount on client? No, umounting on the client didn't work and couldn't work unless the server kept track of which clients had previously used the files in question. It should be possible for the server to do such tracking when the server has enough uptime for client caches to have expired (which would surely happen in less than 2 weeks). But I guess that they don't do such things. Does NFSv4 fix such things? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
