Could be due to networking problems in general. Have you checked you port speed and duplex settings to ensure they're compatible with your switch/hub? Auto/Auto is often a PITA (dependent on hardware), I usually force all my equipment to 100/Full... but I also have a good quality switch that defaults to 100/Full.
Otherwise, you could try to add the options "soft,bg" to the mount point. That should background reconnect NFS mounts if they become disconnected. Might help.

Subject: [mythtv-users] OT: NFS - Anyone seen a problem like this
I realize that this question doesn't have much at all to do with
Myth proper, but when it occurs it's always when I'm watching a
recording.
The problem is the playback will freeze. There is no response
from the keyboard or mouse. If I switch to a different VT, top
show's a pretty much idle processor. Since I can't get out of
playback, I kill off mythfrontend, but still no response. Finally,
I killed off everything on VT7 (X) and I eventually got a login
prompt on it.
Login works but hangs when bringing up network services. Finally,
I unmount the NFS video share and remount then everything starts
working again.
My set up is backend running FC2 on AMD 3200++. Frontend running
FC2 on P3 733Mhz. Both using Myth 0.17.
I don't really think this problem has anything to do with Myth. I
was wondering if anyone else has ever seen a problem like this with
NFS. Is there an NFS option I could try that might help. One
other note, I don't have to do anything to the backend machine to
make playback work again.
Anyway, thanks for any thoughts anyone may have on the subject.
