Ugh, NFS complicates things :-)
I have a similar thing with my notebook and NFS mounts at home, I often
forget to umount the NFS dirs, causing issues when I then go to work and
wake the machine up
If you have NFS in the mix, I'd certainly investigate that first before
getting into more complex things. Also check that your NFS and mount
stuff in /etc/init.d are doing the right thing in the right order with
both startup and shutdown
