I’m sending this just in case anyone finds it useful. We had an episode where two systems hung. Processes on two different systems hung. One was in Chrome, trying to do an NFS write. The other I couldn’t tell. We rebooted both machines, but neither could do NFS mount from the server involved. Other systems were using it just fine. I did “systemctl restart nfs-server”, and got the following: Oct 28 10:56:47 communis.lcsr.rutgers.edu systemd[1]: Stopped ZFS file system shares.
