>From the manpage for "umount":

      -O options
              Indicate  that  the actions should only be taken on file systems
              with the specified options in /etc/fstab.  More than one  option
              type  may  be  specified in a comma separated list.  Each option
              can be prefixed with no to specify options for which  no  action
              should be taken.

AFAIK, there is no "-l" _mount_ option, so it is extremely unlikely that
your NFS-mounted filesystems are listed in /etc/fstab as using it.
You're better off trying with "umount -l /filesystem".

Better still, fix your init scripts so that they kill whatever process
it is that is still using the NFS partition and causing the regular
"umount" to fail: *NIX does NOT allow you to unmount partitions that are
*in use*.

Cheers,
