No, I'm not sure. I think the problem is likely in VMWare. But I don't
mind fixing the symptom if it allows me to recover without a reboot.
I'm using Linux in production systems and even when something like this

subsystems is the work of the NFS group to resolve inconsistancies that
creep into network mount tables.
