I may be experiencing a similar issue. On the clients, does dmesg say things
like
nfs: server <server> not responding, still trying
nfs: server <server> OK
I have been troubleshooting this for the better part of a week and have gotten
nowhere. Changing all of the mounts to use nfs4 seems to fix the problem, but I
have to use nfs3 for one of the mounts (otherwise I get into ID mapping hell).
There is an open bug in (I think) nfs-kernel-server that describes similar
symptoms, but offers no solution.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
