Bug Description
Binary package hint: nfs-kernel-server
We are running nfs-kernel-sever in Ubuntu Server 8.10 with 2.6.27-11 kernel on x86_64 server and 64 nfs clients running Ubuntu Desktop 8.10 x86_64 for auto-mounted home directories, and 24 Mac OSX clients also using auto-mounted home directories.
System runs fine for some time, but the lockd kernel task will stop responding at some point. Restarting nfsd / nfs-common does not clear the problem. The system requires a reboot. the problem seems exacerbated by heavy load.
I disabled client locking altogether and we have been running w/out incident ever since.
We are using nfs-kernel-server 1:1.1.2-4ubuntu1.1, and kernel 2.6.27-11-server for x86_64.
