  Stable nfs mounts and good performance

  4) 
  2-3 times a week the nfs server hangs and the machine has to be restarted. The hangs usually occur when there's a lot going on, like multiple people copying large amounts of data to/from the machine. The nfs performance is also horrible, at all times.

  The following came in the syslog just before the last hang:
