Hi Jason, you can enable the NFS and SUNRPC tracepoints to get a better idea of what the client was doing right before the hang or what the client is trying to do during the hang: echo "sunrpc:*" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event echo "nfs:*" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event Examine or provide the contents of /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace.
