[AVFS] AVFS + FUSE (mountavfs) woes with (missing) remote filesystems

Hello all,

let me describe my setup: I have a remote filesystem mounted (via NFS)
on /oneforall. I also use AVFS by calling mountavfs, so that the 'virtual'
archives are available under ~/.avfs for my user.

On /oneforall I have a bunch of archives, and I created symlinks to their
content under ~/.avfs/oneforall/...

If the server goes offline, trying to access ~/.avfs/oneforall results in
processes stuck in D state; this seems to be an unrecoverable situation,
even after the server is brought back online and /oneforall remounted, even
new accesses (after remounting) go in D state. Unmounting the avfs is
impossible as well. The only solution is to reboot the machine.

Anything that can be done about it?
