Fun stuff, huh? -NFS is under use, sorry, I should have specified that. /srv (and /usr/portage) are NFS mounted on computer A from computer B. -Yes, I can easily reproduce this issue. It involves: -Start a big transfer. -In the case of a torrent, wait a few minutes (no more than 20). -In the case of a FTP transfer over LAN, wait a few seconds (no more than 40). One thing I left out in my first mail: B is my router/server, yet when A is torrenting, B does NOT lock up. Also note that B is running 2.6.10, and A is on 2.6.12. I'll get back to you in a few hours (once I'm back from school and have tested this with a new kernel(s)). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
