Any access (e.g. stat(2)) to a file or directory provided by NFS will
sleep as long as the NFS server is not reachable.
On the other hand: without doing this fuser call which terminates all
processes on files or directories provided by a NFS server would break
the shutdown of the autofs deamon because such files or directories are
marked as busy.
This was the reason why I've added the patch psmisc-22.5-nfs4fuser.patch
to avoid stat(2) system calls on NFS provided files or directories:
/suse/werner> rpm -q --changelog psmisc | grep NFS
- Patched fuser to avoid to be locked on stalled NFS (bug #166912)
