>Originator:     Kevin Day
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.7-STABLE i386
>Organization:
DragonData Internet Services
>Environment:

2.2.5 NFS server, and 2.2.7 NFS client

>Description:

Processes on the client get randomly stuck in 'getblk' and are unkillable.

corrupt  17558  0.0  0.5  1572 1840  p3- D    Wed02PM    0:22.05 ./eggdrop Xtacy
   1211 17558     1   0  -5  0  1572 1840 getblk D     p3-   0:22.05 ./eggdrop Xtacy

kill -9 won't kill it.

A possible clue is that when i went to the directory that had the ./eggdrop
executable, and did an ls I received:

ls: .: Stale NFS file handle

>How-To-Repeat:

Too random for me to find a pattern

>Fix:
	
I wish I knew....

State-Changed-By: dillon 
State-Changed-When: Sun Dec 12 00:08:22 PST 1999 
State-Changed-Why:  
A large number of bugs relating to NFS client lockups, including at least 
one relating to a lockup in getblk, have been fixed in recent kernels 
(3.x and 4.x).
