Boyang, in your external exported configuration, was the lockup happening on the client or server system? - Ted P.S. I just don't have the capability of testing NFS on separate VM's for the client and server using gce-xfstests. It's on my list of things to implement someday, but I just don't have time at the moment. Maybe a GSOC project someday...
