>Description:
I've got a really slow optical drive nfs mounted on a linux machine.
I did a 'rm -rf *' on it, and it totally locked up the machine until it finished deleting everything. It wouldn't accept telnets, (although it would reply to pings). When finished, it showed a load average of 10. 
>How-To-Repeat:
I guess get a similar config.
>Fix:
Don't rm on a slow drive over nfs. :)
