I wonder if bash, csh etc believe in this case that your NFS partition is actually
still the root. Try to make sure that the NFS partition is not the root possibly be exiting bash
and loging in again.
I'm probably wrong on this.

Hi,
It seems like I can generate reproducible stale NFS mounts by mounting
a partition, chroot'ing into that mount, immediately exiting the
chroot, and then finding myself unable to unmount the NFS partition.
I'm pretty sure I've confirmed that nothing is using the partition
(both with fuser and lsof) and even tried to force umount the
partition (which seems like it should definitely umount it, rather
than returning with the same "device is busy" errors), to no avail.
The only method which I've used that seems to be able to get rid of
this NFS mount, is to reboot the NFS client, and clearly that's not a
good one at all. If I'm missing something obvious here, my apologies
in advance. Also, if there's any further information I can provide,
I'd be happy to help. The dump of my procedure follows this message.
Thanks again and take care,
Daniel
