Ah, ok. But I wondered why this warning comes only when umounting /home but 
not when umounting /data.

The thing is that I had /data and  /var/lib/software exported since months 
without any problems. Now I added /home and clients freezes sometimes and I 
cant get them to work again until I reboot the client.

For now I switched back to NFSv3 and this seems to work better for me.
