Peter, I think you are right. Like you said, the hangs I experience are only one of the symptoms.
As you seem to have a lot more knowledge than I have on the subject, could you please fill a bug for the package nfs-common or linux? I think you will be able to give more relevant informations than I would do. Information from: http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ar01s04.html#mounting_remote_dirs Mounting options: hard The program accessing a file on a NFS mounted file system will hang when the server crashes. The process cannot be interrupted or killed (except by a "sure kill") unless you also specify intr. When the NFS server is back online the program will continue undisturbed from where it was. We recommend using hard,intr on all NFS mounted file systems. If you do fill a new bug report, please let me know.
