List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Actually, I have seen this on the server before, specifically When using an older version of IBM's JFS for Linux with RH 7.3 I worked with the JFS team and JFS v1.1.0 and kernel 2.4.20 seemed to stabilize it, at least I've seen no more "freezes" as a result. Judging by your mail address this might be your problem as well. One noticeable symptom is that cd'ing to an affected dir and attempting an ls would also freeze (I had a large (20GB+) file copy going, so I usually knew what the affected dir was. Two other things that helped: 1) increasing the # of nfs threads (120 or more) 2) ensuring the uid/gid the remote thread was using existed on the server. (sounds stupid but it helped) neither "cured" the issue, but it went from being reproducible to being occasional.
