From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: System freezes after nfsd-fh after this error. It is always a "//name". I think the key is the double slash, but it only applies to kernel version 2.2.19-7.0.1 and 7.0.8. It is never the same file that the system freezes on, but it is always a double slash, and it will not log the error in the syslog. I also have nfs v3 turn off in the nfs startup script. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade to kernel-2.2.19-7.0.1 or 7.0.8 2. run a load on the nfsd 3. wait for system to freeze Additional info:
