>Release:        FreeBSD 3.2-19990726-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Xpeed, Inc.
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 3.2-19990726-STABLE i386
	AMD K6-2 350 MHz processor, Asus P5A motherboard, 64 MB
	Tekram DC390F SCSI controller, IBM UltraStar 9ES SCSI disks
	(4 GB and 9 GB).
	Default NFS client and server parameters.

>Description:

	NFS hangs during large write through self-NFS mount.
	Couldn't figure out how to fix it without rebooting
	(was able to login (as root) at the console, but not
	(as non-root) through the network).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Mount an NFS exported filesystem to the same computer.
	Write a large file through the NFS mount (for example,
	do a mkisofs of a Red Hat 6.0 Linux image with -o pointing
	to a file on the self-NFS mount).

>Fix:
	
	Workaround is to avoid writing through self-NFS mounts.
	Don't know what actual fix is.
