Two i386 machines running nfs, one serving to the other.  After I initiate
something like a kernel compile on the NFS mounted /usr/src, its runs for
a long while and then locks up.

On the server side:

The Client Side reports nfs server not responding.  When the client is
in this state, anything like "df" or a cd to the nfs file system locks
down that process.

I'd appreciate email off of this alias regarding NFS if you've been using
it.  I plan to move things to our sgi and mount a file system from there
and see if I can't isolate the problem to the client side.
