You need to explain how you do your NFS mounts. Theres are several ways
to do it. I personally prefer the automount method, where it does not do
the mount until it needs it. If you do not use the mount sor a specified
period of time, I have min umount the drive. Hoepfully, that will
prevent the stale nfs mont.
