on 08:10 the server was back online. But beep-media-player was still stucked.
I ran a ktrace then on the pid of beep-media-player:

  1781 beep-media-player CALL  ioctl(0x9,SNDCTL_DSP_GETOSPACE,0xbf1f6ee0)
  1781 beep-media-player RET   ioctl 0

all the time repeating that. The nfs mount itself is working I can
ls /mnt/tmp for example

When I try mpg123,

And all I get with ktrace out is

   569 mpg123   RET   write 16384/0x4000

as the last line, and after that nothing more.

I'm not sure how to get a coredump out of these locked processes.
