I activated the raid (/dev/md0), then mounted it, and after that i was starting nfs. I was able to mount the share on my desktop, creating direcrotys was no problem, but as soon as i was copying a file to the share, the server freezed. Creating files localy (while loged in via ssh) is leading to the process is staying in state D. Sometimes, when i start nfsd, the system reboots immediately, sometimes not. At the momment, most of the processes are in state D, reboot does not work, and i am not at home, so i am unable to reboot the machine manualy.
Neat trick which I only discovered in desparation last week when battling a RAID lockup on the -rc4-mm1 kernel on a remote box.
I was also having hard lockup issues, but reseating all my PCI cards appear to have rectified that one.
As root. echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Of course only if you have alt-sysrq built in.
