[clue] stale nfs mounts

[Quentin Hartman]

Note that the NFS mounts might be stuck if they were not mounted with the
"intr" option. If that's the case, you might have to reboot.

Personally, I prefer the fstab method for my nfs stuff. I haven't found
that autofs buys me much for my uses except another moving part to debug...

I've found that some variation of the following mount options to
consistently give performant and usable NFS mounts on my Linux boxes:

intr,nolock,noatime,tcp,async,rsize=32768,wsize=32768

YMMV, but these will probably start as a good starting point. Once I came
to these, pretty much all my NFS-related headaches went away.
