I do it on HP-UX 10.20 all the time.  Lots of stale NFS handles, or
something just isn't working right?  Stop and restart the automount
daemons (/sbin/init.d/nfs.client), and that usually fixes it.  The one
or two times I made the mistake of trying that on Linux, I had to reboot
the box to get it to work again.
