Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.2.2-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi there,

appologies if this has already been reported but I couldn't see anything quite 
matching what I'm seeing.

I have a 26TB debian squeeze fileserver providing NFS mounts to a large number 
of users.  The system has been working flawlessly for a number of months but 
twice in the last week NFS seems to have crashed.  The first thing I noticed is 
that users reported being unable to access shares.  Logging into the system I 
see a single nfsd process taking 100% CPU with a very long run time.  
Restarting nfs-kernel-server has no effect.  The process is unkillable (even 
with -9) and the system has required a reboot to get it usable again.  jnettop 
is not showing significant network traffic and lsof on /export/ (where all my 
NFS exports are located) shows no nfs access to any files.  

Please let me know if you need any further information.  I am going to reboot 
the server now, so I may not be able to reproduce the problem straight away 
(but as its happened twice, I am quite sure it will happen again at some 
point...).

Thanks in advance for your help.
