Yes, that's about all I can think of for now.
I did that and it froze within about 20 minutes of logging in. This was
in a parallel session while I continued working in my main session.
That test session has nothing else running and is still frozen after
about 18 hours.
Meanwhile my normal session was frozen for a few minutes when I came
back this morning but has since woken up spontaneously.
All this is with the NFS NAS automounted but not being used.
