Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nfs-common
I have a little 2-computer network using NFS.
The client is ubuntu 8.04.1, the server is the current Debian testing
distribution.
When I share files with nfs4, the connection sometimes hangs
so you can do "ls n" (where "n" is a NFS mountpoint) and it
hangs forever. It typically runs for tens of minutes with light use
before it freezes. When it freezes, the kernel is still running,
everything is running that does not try to access files mounted
over NFS.
I know it's not a server freeze because I can connect
to the same NFS server, same exported file system from
another computer, and it'll work (at least for a while).
I've seen this both ways: where Ubuntu freezes, but
Debian can access itself via NFS and where Debian freezes
but Ubuntu can access Debian via NFS.
The equivalent configuration works reliably with NFSv3.
When it's frozen, my /var/log/syslog on the Ubuntu client
side rapidly fills up with error messages:

It's mostly error 22.
This goes on for thousands and thousands of lines, at the rate of 1000

but they were active a little while ago):

ssh, web, and ping connections between the two machines work nicely.
It's a standard wired network, specified in /etc/networks/interfaces .
