There is something which isn't really cleaned on the server, it is the
/var/lib/nfs/rmtab file, which, as far as understand keeps track of nfs mounted
filesystems. The only problem with it appears when you restart the nfsd. If the x
terminals are shut down at that time, the nfsd will wait for a timeout of them
before getting started and thus the nfsd start is slowed down. You can edit
/var/lib/nfs/rmtab by hand to remove the bad entries.
