try mounting with the option of "soft". i have tested nfs a lot and it works fine with rebooting. i had a system playing mp3s off of a nfs share, reboot the server, mp3 player runs out of buffer and stalls..about 30 seconds after the buffer runs out the server comes back up and the song plays from where it left off without a hiccup. in the background i see a buncha nfs unreachable errors but they are only soft. the system will retry for as long as it takes to re establish the link. nate
