Kill all nfsd threads.
   This can be done with 'kill' or 'rpc.nfsd 0' or
     echo 0 > /proc/fs/nfsd/threads

kill mountd
   killall rpc.mountd

kill idmapd

unexport everything.
   This can be done with 'exportfs -f' and checked by
    grep . /proc/net/rpc/*/content
   this should only contain comments

unmount the 'nfsd' filesystem
   umount /proc/fs/nfsd

rmmod nfsd

(it look me ages to remember idmapd - but 
   lsof /proc/net/rpc/*/*
 gave it away)
