so you mean, you need to umount a remote filesystem? You can force umount with -f
umount -f client:/remote/filesystem
and remove the entry for that client in /etc/fstab

umount -f client:/remote/filesystem --> No such file or directo
ry ( cos the host B was shutdown )
remove the entry for that client in /etc/fstab --> no entry of host B

What happens when you try (as root):

umount -f /mountpoint

where mountpoint is where you mounted
hostB:/remote/filesystem
