"stale NFS" is a classis problemm..
- tell the "other end" never reboot :-)
to see what the stale point was ...
- popup a new xterm
root# df
root# cat /proc/mtab
-- the NFS that its complaining about is the next item
in mtab that is NOT listed by "df"
when they do reboot improperly, you have to umount the old mount point
umount /mnt/foo
when mounting the resources from the other PCs
- you should use an automounter ( amd or autofs )
- i prefer soft mounts vs hard mounts so you dont hve to wait for
them to reboot
- i prefer intr so you can ^C it if it hangs and skip around them

../furtheurnet is NOT the problem

this has NOTHING to do with furthermount or the NFS problem
( except that furthernet is a subdirectory under /space
sounds like you are also mounting toher PCs under /space
( from the l command at furthurnet that gave you the nfs problem)
( bad idea ... in my book... everything should be under /mnt
( or the top level of your automounter
