Hi Maxim,

I ran into the problem with the nfs mounts on linux hanging a few
months ago, when the Linux distro that I'm running (Void) on the NFS
client dropped UDP NFS mounts.  At the time I found this post that
explains the situation:

http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/nfsd-hangs-Linux-tcp-clients-after-5-minutes-idle-td402844.html

As a work around, I've set up a cron script that stat's the mount
point every four minutes.  That stops the mount from hanging.

I hope that helps.

James
