If it was only so easy!

# lsof -n|grep /srv

# fuser /srv

# ls /sys/block/xvdf/holders/

# umount /srv
umount: /srv: device is busy.
        (In some cases useful info about processes that use
         the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))

Yet after reboot, back to normal:

root@ec2:~# df -h /srv
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvdf             194G   62G  123G  34% /srv
