Kevin Day once stated:

=However entering this on the client machine
=
=mount -u -o async /home
=
=*while* the client's nfs is hosed will make it recover within 5
=seconds. It even appears that all the writes that were queued are
=executed, and no data is lost.

That's a great thing to know. Those hungups are damn annoying.
The reason is, probably, a side effect of how `-u'/`async' are
implemented. AFAIK, the fs is unmounted and then remounted with
async. Which is just what you wanted.

=Is there any way of making whatever it was that did this happen
=automatically every once in a while? :)

NFS hung ups are a strange topic, in my experience. People agree
that they are "bad", but one is not supposed to complain about
them...
