Aug 24 18:08:59 iranon kernel: [168839.556017] nfs: server hopkins not responding, still trying
but I wasn't around until 19:38 to spot it.

netstat when I got to it was:

(iranon is the problematic host .4, azathoth is my desktop machine .5, hopkins is the NFS server .6)

tcpdumps are pretty big. I've attached the last 100 packets captured. If
you need more I can put the full file up somewhere.
