Okay so it's unlikely to be what I saw. > It's the client systems that have problems, how would it help to get a = trace > of the nfsd's? Probably not. It might be useful to get a trace of the processes stuck in the 'D' state (ctrl+scroll lock is logged to dmesg), and rpciod, lockd (and any of the rpc.xxx processes). Also it might be useful to get a trace using tcpdump of the communication between the server and client (options -vv -u -s 192 to get extra NFS information).
