Hi,

I got two responses on this. Thanks to

Robert Mulley <genius_at_one.net.au>
Sakellaris Alexander <asakelaris_at_cosmote.gr>

They recommend to use the stop script to check for users/open files in
that mount point and then kill them.

I'm not sure what actually should be checked as login is disabled and
no process will use that service on A. A just functions as the nfs server
for this service.

Any other ideas are welcome. Thanks anyway.

Regards,
Raymond
