I discovered that even with no users logged on, the NFS hang could be
triggered by updatedb, which is started by a cron job. The defaults
for updatedb (in /etc/sysconfig/locate) allow it to traverse /home.
In past versions of Linux, NFS automounted /home was treated as a
"netpath", but now NFS-mounted home directories are treated as local
to the systems. The result (in my case) is that updatedb runs find
across every one of hundreds of home directories on the NetApp Filer,
and tries to mount home directories that are not exported to this
system. I think that's where the hang happens.
I killed find and updatedb, restarted nfs and autofs, and removed
/home from the paths covered by updatedb. This fixed the hang.
The underlying problem is still there, however.
