Previously reported last month: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/951419?page=last Now with 2.6.27-rc3 on one of the client boxes I get a complete stall at odd times when accessing the server's exported directory, cannot see a pattern to it. Eventually recovers after a Ctrl-C. Nothing in the server or client log files. Not easy to reproduce either. The server runs 2.6.26.2 at the moment.
