Description of problem: Unkown caused kernel oops in NFS . The System had an oops message and mount.nfs and mysqld where in a D state. I think, nfs caused the problem and mysql was involved only because it takes locks to any filesystem it can get it hands on :) . The system rebooted hours later without problems and i can see in the logfiles of some other daemons, that they acted normal after that oops . Ofcourse except mysql and nfs .
