OK. That's helpful... I've been compiling a kernel without CONFIG_NFS_V4
enabled, and have run a few tests using fsx. So far, I haven't managed
to reproduce your issue.

The next time that you see the hang, can you try to run the command
'echo "t" >/proc/sysrq-trigger' as root?
If you can compile with CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG, then an 'echo 0
>/proc/sys/rpc_debug' might also be helpful.

Cheers
