  Can't comment. When I turn on the notebook it becomes part of the network
and the filesystems exported by the other boxes are visible. When I shut
down the notebook nothing on the big boxes change. I don't deliberately
mount and umount remote filesystems.

  However, I don't automatically mount an nfs-exported filesystem on the
notebook when it's on the network. I use the connetion only to transfer
files between it and the main workstation. Perhaps the way I use the network
just did not expose me to the problems you encountered.
