How can I unmount user's automounted home dir, for example, /home/john
without waiting for time out or in case of the
original NFS server down and I have to quickly move the /home/john to be
mounted from other server?

Thanks.

umount /home/user

(If it's not in use)

can you umount any directory??? I think I'm confused it looks like /home is
the mount point not /home/john. I would think you could only umount /home
but not the user directory too.

If it's automounted you can unmount it by hand. it will get remounted
when you use it. If it doesn't show up with df, it isn't in use
and therefor not mounted.

Let me get this straight. The only mount points you can unmount is anything
under df -k command. This is because they are your mount points. Anything
else you can't unmout the only thing you could do is disable it by changing
the rights to the directory under a certain mount point. Is this a true
statement?

No, you can unmount everything though that might confused vold
and automount.
