    I've tested disconnecting our NFS server from the network. As expected,
    any processes accessing an NFS share "hang" until the connection is
    restored, and which point, they all spring back to life. This is good.

    Does anyone know what happens if the NFS server process dies, or if the
    server is rebooted? I seem to remember last time I ran an "exportfs -r"
    to load new mountpoint, all the clients started complaining of "stale
    nfs handles", and had to be individually rebooted. This is not a good
    thing. How can I work with the NFS server without causing all the
    clients to go haywire?

    An NFS server crash is obviously a bad thing, but I'd expect the
    clients to revive themselves once the server is back online.

    Thanks,

    Norman
