Hi, having slight problems with Fedora 2.  Whenever I close down it has

You need to unmount any NFS mounts before issuing shutdown - I make sure all 
NFS mounts in /etc/fstab are set to noauto and all scripts that access the 
mounts call mount themselves and unmount when finished.

Any ideas, I have tried unmount, but am told the drive is busy.

When? Before shutdown? Where is the NFS mounted? (copy your /etc/fstab in your 
reply).

I use:
calvin:/home    /mnt/calvin     nfs     ro,user,noauto          0       0
fergus:/home    /mnt/fergus     nfs     ro,user,noauto          0       0

(I only use NFS for backup purposes).

Are you setting NFS to mount automatically on boot?
