I highly recommend against disabling the local only df test. As Michael
points out, it will hang for a long time. Not only hang but leave behind a

that it is waiting on a child to finish.
I only use nfs on AIX and there you can specify on the client that even when
you do a hard mount, you still can cancel the process that hangs.
I don't know if this exists on linux clients ....
