        What is happening is that NetworkManager is taking down the connection 
before running the dispatch script. That is a known problem.

        Those options can prevent other programs from hanging. But keep in mind 
that nfs clients maintain a local cache that may not have been sync'ed to the 
server by the time the connection is taken down. Files can be corrupted 
because of that though I have never seen that happening.
