"I'm positive. The machine itself locks up. I cannot ctrl+alt+del, can't switch VCs; it freezes. NFS isn't necessarily a part of the problem anyway. Just general net load seems to do it. For example, if I start multiple downloads with using Bittorent. I haven't narrowed the issue down terribly far, though. It did not hang while grabbing an ISO via HTTP at ~300 KBps. It does, however, hang when there's significant load and Bittorent is part of the formula. But it doesn't _always_ hang when using it." ---------------- Have you ruled out livelock?
