Hi,

  I'm having lots of problems with NFS deadlocks in my recent configuration.
Both client and server are 2.2-STABLE, with 3c905 100Mbps ethernet boards.
Right now, for example, I have a netscape and am elm locked.  If this helps,
here's the output of a "ps -axlww | grep nfs" on the client:

The relevant fstab options are as follows:

gaia:/          /gaia           nfs     rw,soft,intr,bg,nfsv2,dumbtimer 0      0
gaia:/usr       /gaia/usr       nfs     rw,soft,intr,bg,nfsv2,dumbtimer 0      0
gaia:/var       /gaia/var       nfs     rw,soft,intr,bg,nfsv2,dumbtimer 0      0
gaia:/extra     /gaia/extra     nfs     rw,soft,intr,bg,nfsv2,dumbtimer 0      0

Using option "tcp" helps a lot, but if the server reboots, the client does
not reconect.  "nfsv2" and "dumbtimer" seem to have helped, but did not
solve the problem.

Is there anything I can do to help debug this ?
