problem is, the mounts continue to lock long after the server has come back.
If the server disappears and returns without me trying to access the mount
point in any way, I'm fine.  If I access it while the server has wandered off
then I'm screwed until I force a power down.  (Although now I mention it, that
may be the CIFS mounts, not the NFS ones : see other response in this thread)
