That would happen to me sometimes if I still had a nfs partition mounted
on a different computer(havent looked in the logs thought).
You might check that.

BTW if you hard mounted the partition you can't get rid of it(on the
other system) w/o turning the server back on.  This is a real pain
because bash will hang if it has to read the directory for command
completion! (I hung all 6 ttys once)
