(My test machine eventually unblocked when the 90GB NFS transfer finally finished. Still, that took a long time, and it was totally unusable until then.) Checking the current kernel sources, the kernel patches referenced in bug #585657 are clearly already applied. Reviewing recent development

Just ran into this bug, affecting me on a new Lucid 64-bit install. Memory exhaustion is unlikely, as the machine has 8GB of RAM and a fast network link. This may be related to bug #585657. Remote SSH still works, and the NFS transfer I started a couple of hours ago is still running, slowly,

I can repro this issue quite easily with my setup. I'm running two amd64 kvm guests on amd64 host system with 8GB of memory. Nfs server is running on the host, and guests heavily rely on it. All systems are up- to-date, kernel is 2.6.32-23. So the guests hang when they heavily access nfs mounts,

My Desktop also did freeze for those 120 seconds. I use a Gnome but there are KDE based widgets running, namely klipper. Ac. buffer size: Larger write buffers (backed by enough RAM) defer or eventually avoid the point at which the buffer runs full. I think we agree that's when the freeze occurs.

If my assumption of the freeze trigger is correct, it should be possible to provoke the problem even against fast NFS servers by setting the buffer size extremly low, i.e. to the minimum allowed by the NFS driver. I 'll try this out, but due to a business trip I won't happen before the end of
