NFS Gone Wrong
My company has an nfs server that has data from multiple servers written to it so that we can create a single backup to tape rather than having multiple tapes. It's been working fine for the past few years, but this past week it's been acting up.
Now when a server tries to mount the directory from the backup nfs server, the nfs service will just die and we have to restart the service.
Has anyone ever been in this type of situation before? If so then how did you remedy the situation?

I've rarely seen that happen. In the cases where I have seen it, it was because the underlying (non-RAIDed) drive for the filesystem was failing. It was a bad block that couldn't be read, which caused any application attempting to read it to time out.
I've also seen it happen once when I had "auto updates" enabled on my Linux Server long ago, and I received an updated glibc runtime. Though, that was pretty noticable because a lot of other apps were flaking out. A reboot took care of that problem. -
