Re: mounted NFS blocks "forever"

Following next steps my mountd NFS partition blocks "forever":

1.- I start the server NFS process.
2.- I mount the NFS partition like:
mount -t nfs 192.168.2.1:/export/home /home
3.- I stop and start the NFS server, simulating a server/network
temporal shutdown.
4.- The mounted partition doesn't work anymore and simple comands
like:

# ls /home

blocks until I "kill-9" them and there is no way to unmount the device
since trying to unmount it returns "device bussy".

I'm puzzled as to why it isn't coming back after the server comes back
up.

It's there anyway to avoid such behaviour. I would like, in the worst
case when the NFS servers goes down, to be able to unmount and
remount again.

The 'soft' option to mount allows HFS to timeout.
