Hey Alex,
If you can use the umount -f option to force the operation I would
suggest rewriting the fstab entry for this mount to include the soft and
timeo=  nfs options (see man mount). This way if the nfs server ever
does this again it will allow the workstation to gracefully recover from
the event.
