It seems you have to push your interrupt key, wait for a file system to time out, then push it again for the next file system, etc. If you have ten things mounted from the same server, the fight isn't worth it -- you may as well log out and log back in. # df ^C^C^CNFS server waterloo not responding, still trying ^C^C^C^C^C^C ^C^C^C^C^C^CNFS server waterloo not responding, still trying ^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C NFS server waterloo not responding, still trying ^C^C^C^C 25549 Interrupt df # Couldn't "df" notice the *first* interrupt?
