An alternative to IA-64 is the alpha processor. Last time I checked, FreeBSD ran just peachy on a 64-bit processor. ;-) Check out Cmpaq's test drive program. I don't know... I'm still to get it to boot on mine (NetBSD runs fine, but for some bizzare reason, FreeBSD insists on a serial

"I could have had a PA-8600!"? Today, and not at some vague point in the future? That sort-of misses the point, as I'm taking a research OS perspective, where IA-64 is trully unique in terms of versitality and a well thought-through design (especially when it comes to SASOS support!)

I'd say this is more likely a VM bug rather then an NFS bug. I don't think anything is being corrupted, I think it may just be a deadlock. For this sort of problem you should be able to gdb the kernel live on the system (without core'ing it) and then look at the stack backtrace
