Thanks to everyone for your suggestions on fixing my hung file managers when NFS mounted servers went down. The following fstab nfs mount options entry fixed it, as suggested. I also stopped using nfslock rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,soft Also entered it into my personal "Linux Tips" database. Once I clean it up (slammed the db and interface together in a blind rush), I will make it available for others to post tips, hints, tweaks etc and will provide the db dumps to anyone that wants them. Over time could become a very useful, indexed, categorized database of Linux tips for everyone.
