I am running fully up to date Gutsy server and am getting what I think
is the same problem as is reported here.  After an indeterminate amount
of time and/or activity, the [lockd] process on the server goes from S
state to D state and all queries from clients result in messages such
as:

Feb 28 07:59:36 balin kernel: [73693.569139] lockd: server dimen not
responding, still trying

and hang forever.

I tried stopping and then starting nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server but
the [lockd] process remains and in state D.  Killing it explicitly has
no apparent effect.  A new [lockd] process appears in the process table
after the restart of nfs-kernel-server but it appears not to be used.

The only remedy appears to be to reboot the server and then it seems all
the clients.

It seems that the solution to the problem may now be known, so I guess
the question is when will an update to the Gutsy kernel be issued?  I
guess it goes without saying that it would be good if the kernel issued
with Hardy does not have this problem?

Thanks.
