Nxserver –terminate leaves stale NFS handles

[rbulla]

The NoMachine’ user home directory is located on a NFS share. By terminating an exisiting NM session of that user with “/etc/NX/nxserver --terminate” stale NFS handles are left, i.e. I can’t remove that users home directory:

socvm400:/root# /etc/NX/nxserver –list
NX> 127 Available sessions:

Display Username     Remote IP     Session ID                       Node
——- ———— ————- ——————————– ————–

Does anybody has an idea how to resolve this issue?

Solution: I found that the problem is related to the backend user which still persists when the the session gets terminated or the user logs out.

Removing the backend user with “/etc/NX/nxserver –userdel <user> –system” solves the issue.
