I never had this problem on 12.2, and as far as I can tell it's not a disk or network I/O issue. I'll get several "nfs: server not responding, still trying" messages on the client and a few minutes later it usually recovers. It's not clear to me yet what's causing the block. Restarting nfsd on the server will resolve the issue if it doesn't clear itself.

run `nfsstat -d 1` and try to capture a few lines from before, during,
and after the stall, and that may provide some insight.

Specifically, does the queue length grow, suggesting it is waiting on
the I/O subsystem, or does it just stop getting traffic all together.
