As though I don't exactly why NFS won't come up after suspending, I would
suggest, you use option "soft" when mounting the NFS drive, this might
help you in a way that it won't block lot's of the system when there is no
access to your NFS server for whatever reasons. You might even play with
other options you find in mount_nfs(8), especially the -T (ot tcp) option
might even help or option "-i".


Keep on trying... Oliver

PS: As I (have to) use an USB Network Adapter and my USB refuses to work
completely after a suspend on my notebook (Sony Vaio 505SN) I cannot
actually try any of the above by myself, sorry.
