Everything including runnig code locks up and continues when
NFS is restored but it will only lock up if an IO call is made.
Read,write,stat etc... Everything else is already in memory.

Um not sure I understand that one. I am by every definition a beginner
in this perl language thing :) Reading Learning Perl now to understand
how to leverage this treed hash that Kstat has.
But I confess....
The modules directory is local but mirrored to every system using
Tivoli. My Master needs to have source for NT, Solaris, Linux and OSF. I
already know that my destination host is of type Solaris but It would
take a little more work to figure out rev so I just push Solaris
Modules. Until now there hasn't been a need to split them up.
