Uhm...probably not.  If you're just mounting your windows partition in
linux, NFS is not used.  NFS is used to mount a filesystem from a remote
system.  Just like MS windows shares.  Send the output from "mount" and
we'll know for sure.

When umount tells you that a filesystem is busy, it usually means one of
two things.

1) Something has a file open on that filesystem.

2) something is using a piece of that filesystem as its current working
directory (i.e. you have a shell cd'd into that filesystem)

Run 'fuser -m /net'  If it comes back with a list of numbers, also
include a 'ps -ef' (with the fuser output).

Now, to complicate this all, I read an email archive that says Mandrake
uses autofs.  If the "mount" output says anything about autofs or
automount, include the contents of /etc/auto.master and /etc/fstab.  You
could have 2 filesystems mounted on top of each other.  This scenerio
would be resolved by having /net listed in only 1 of these files. (I'm
not an automount fan, so I would choose /etc/fstab)
