Be warned that changing the mount option to soft may well (eventually)
cause data corruption. This would be an absolute last resort as you
probably don't want a lot of people banging on your door complaining
the file they were working on is now shagged.

Whilst I can't offer much help in the way of precise instructions to
track down the precise cause of the problem, can I point you towards
http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/NFS-troubleshooting-2.html if
you've not already seen it. There's some pretty useful, sensible
advice there.

I'm typing as someone who has had the same NFS mount vanish up it's
own mountd on an AIX box in the last 4 weeks, on a very large AIX box
(128Gb Ram) with no-more than me using it and bzipping some large
files... poof. Still trying to work out what the problem is with that
sod...
