I've locked up my dom0 a couple of times this morning copying a 3GB
file from local disk to an NFS mount(neither xend nor guests running).
I don't encounter this problem on the stock CentOS 4 kernel. The
machine is a PowerEdge 2850 with 2 e1000 cards - the one in use is
connected to a PowerConnect 2216 10/100 switch and has negotiated
100Mbit. I'll check if the stock Cambridge isn't negotiating full
duplex but that shouldn't cause lockups.

My mount options are:
defaults,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nfsvers=3,tcp,timeo=600

This isn't at NetApp (no 100Mbit there), but these are the options
used by all their linux NFS clients.
