Title:
  Unable to unmount NFSv3 or NFSv4 mounts when mounted using IPv6
  address

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am unable to unmount NFS (v3 or v4) mount points if they were
  mounted using the server's IPv6 address instead of the server's
  hostname (which resolves to an IPv6 address).  umount says
  "<mountpoint> was not found in /proc/mounts" even though the file
  system is clearly mounted.

  I do not get the expected result when using IPv6 addresses (NFSv3
  example):

  root at gecko23:~# mount -t nfs [2620:103:a000:401::1:9]:/vol/public /mnt2
  root at gecko23:~# mount | grep /mnt2
  [2620:103:a000:401::1:9]:/vol/public on /mnt2 type nfs (rw,vers=4,addr=2620:103:a000:401::1:9,clientaddr=2620:103:a000:401:7880:a21c:f25:d073)
  root at gecko23:~# cat /proc/mounts | grep /mnt2
  2620:103:a000:401::1:9:/vol/public/ /mnt2 nfs4 rw,relatime,vers=4,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp6,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=2620:103:a000:401:7880:a21c:f25:d073,minorversion=0,local_lock=none,addr=2620:103:a000:401::1:9 0 0
  root at gecko23:~# umount /mnt2
  /mnt2 was not found in /proc/mounts
  /mnt2 was not found in /proc/mounts

  This problem also happens when using NFSv4.

  When mounting using a hostname which resolves to an IPv6 address, I
  get the expected result (NFSv4 example):

  root at gecko23:~# mount -t nfs4 netapp2a-v6.cs.clemson.edu:/vol/public /mnt2
  root at gecko23:~# mount | grep /mnt2
  netapp2a-v6.cs.clemson.edu:/vol/public on /mnt2 type nfs4 (rw,addr=2620:103:a000:401::1:9,clientaddr=2620:103:a000:401:7880:a21c:f25:d073)
  root at gecko23:~# cat /proc/mounts | grep /mnt2
  netapp2a-v6.cs.clemson.edu:/vol/public/ /mnt2 nfs4 rw,relatime,vers=4,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp6,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=2620:103:a000:401:7880:a21c:f25:d073,minorversion=0,local_lock=none,addr=2620:103:a000:401::1:9 0 0
  root at gecko23:~# umount /mnt2

  Using a hostname with NFSv3 works as expected too:

  root at gecko23:~# mount -t nfs netapp2a-v6.cs.clemson.edu:/vol/public /mnt2
  root at gecko23:~# umount /mnt2

  Perhaps the colons (':') in the IPv6 addresses get confused with the
  delimiter (a colon) between NFS server and share point?
