Are these stale mounts?  or does it act like the server is still down?  I
use XFS on all of my linux NFS servers and have only had stale mounts
under certain circumstances.  I use the kernel based on 2.4.19rc3 and
nfs-utils-1.0.1.  The problem is how exportfs is called on bootup.  I seem
to recall having the error with other filesystems, so I don't think it is
XFS related.  I had to add an extra "exportfs -r" somewhere in the startup
scripts and all the problems went away.
