Come around from the back, find the ligaments at about 10 and 2 o'clock, bring the forefingers just beyond/inward, and then press hard on the carotid arteries for a few minutes. You can release at initial grey-out, if you wish, or continue on for a few more minutes for more, um, permanent solutions. Unfortunately, I don't have a live linux system here at work, but I know we have some tools under Tru64 UNIX that permit some observation and analysis of NFS connections. Hate to say it, but you may have to really dig in some arcane man pages to glean what you need for this. (And, in all seriousness, I do commiserate with you - NOT a fun time!!). You might be able to use some standard TCP/UDP/IP network monitoring tools and/or wirrite a simple script to nice the NFS deaemon down a notch or two, I usppsuppose, but I know there are some experienced sysadmins on the list who may have some more interesting/creative solutions.
