This is the biggest issue I've had with NFS. If the mount goes stale, programs can get stuck in an uninterruptable state that takes a reboot to clear out.

Just mount the file system with "soft,intr" options and you won't have that problem. Otherwise NFS is (perhaps unrealistically) optimistic that the server will come back.
