Recently I was trying to unmount some empty NFS datastores from some hypervisors through vCenter 6.5, and I was getting back an alert that unmount wasn't successful because the device was busy. I used below CLI commands to resolve this, 1 - Login to the ESXi host as a root 2 - Check and list all the the NFS datastores that are mounted to the host $ esxcli storage nfs list 3 - Remove the NFS datastore $ esxcli storage nfs remove -v NFS_Datastore_Name External References Umounting NFS drive in ESXi 6.5 web client https://communities.vmware.com/message/2745521#2745521
