Hi, we use Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS and often get a traceback for NFS indicating that the daemon hangs for several seconds. At the same time some client machines cannot access the server and have to wait. After some minutes everything goes on. What could cause the problem? Is there anything we should change? Here is the message in the kernel log: [330573.697121] INFO: task nfsd:1376 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [330573.708375] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
