Hmm, my NFS server stays ok; it's the client that has problems.

Until somewhere this week, the following occurred:

In other words, the 'tar' is dead in the water.

Since somewhere this week, it not only hangs up that specific process,
but all processes that try using NFS hang themselves up and eventually
the machine reboots... I haven't produced a crash dump yet.

The NFS server I use runs FreeBSD 4 and is mounted by a lot of FreeBSD 4
machines that do not have this problem.
