NFS mount and HDD hibernation

Hey guys,

I have a Zyxel NSA-320 and installed UNFS3 on it. All works quite well, I can mount the shares from my workstation, the only problem is with disk hibernation. I've set it up to suspend HDD after 15 minutes of inactivity and it does nicely fall asleep. The problem is that I cannot wake it up
Once the disk is suspended, the share is inaccessible and I get lots of these in dmesg:

"nfs: server nsa320 not responding, still trying"

The only way to get out is to kill the process (either "ls" or "thunar" or whatever's trying to access it).

My server config looks like this:

/etc/exports:

/i-data/40acb3e8/linux 192.168.1.1/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

This is how it's mounted:

/etc/fstab

nsa320:/i-data/40acb3e8/linux /mnt/arch32nfs nfs rw,noauto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,udp,noatime,async,nfsvers=3 0 0

I've tried different mount options but none of them had any effect.
Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

Re: NFS mount and HDD hibernation

That's an interesting option and probably a worthy alternative to thunar vol manager if I just wanted to mount.
However, one of the shares is actually a root for another linux instance, that complicates things a bit.
