I tried stoping and restarting mountd, in addition to initially shutting
down mountd, nfsd, and then rpcbind.  That was before I realized that it
was just a problem with mountd and not the NFS subsystem in general.
Other systems which already had home mounted were fine.

I tried running mountd with the -d option, but that really didn't give any
useful info.  The output was extremely terse.

FWIW, the server's filesystem (oreo:/home) is a large LFS filesystem
(~60GB). Earlier this morning I rebooted the system.  This cleared the
problem.  I think there may be something funny going on between LFS (maybe
the lfs_cleanerd?) and mountd.  I'll keep an eye on it in case this
happens again, but given that the reboot cleared it, something weird is
very likely going on here.
