i have, though possibly not related to your problem.

i have a webserver which i run and have installed a perl module to stream mp3s. so all my mp3s are on my computer upstairs in my room. instead of moving everything, i set up an NFS export from my desktop computer. now, lazy person that i am i just dont feel like giving my desktop a static IP. when the lease on the ip from my router expires and i get a new, the NFS mount on the server goes stale.

when i try to do a directory listing inside the parent directory of the NFS mount, the shell locks up.

so have you checked to see if the NFS service is still running on the server-end ?

ps- my fix for the dynamic ip problem:

generally the ip address on my desktop only changes from 192.168.1.102 to 192.168.1.103 and back.

so, i have an NFS mount from BOTH ip address to the same place on the NFS client. i didnt know that would work and i actually dont know WHY that works...but it does Smilie

MOUNT.NFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      MOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options] DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted. Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions, mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2. OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly. -v Be verbose. -V Print version. -w Mount file system read-write. -f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making an entry. -s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail. -h Print help message. nfsoptions Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages. FILES
