A timeout doesn't help much. If a process touches a stale NFS mount point, it will be stuck in D state forever unless the mount was made with the intr or some other non-default option. Even if we forked a child to do just that, the child would be in D state and become a zombie as soon as landscape-sysinfo finished.
What we are doing in the package that should be in -proposed (or on its way there) is ignore NFS and other network related filesystems.
