I have added the option tcp in the mount command in fstab. That option enables copying of at least 10 GB files to my Ubuntu server.

This causes various things to fail to respond, ultimately resulting in a hard reboot and potential loss of data. When this occurs I am able to log into the box via ssh, but even sudo is unable to kill -9 the wayward file copy or reboot the machine gracefully. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Details: The server exports several directories, for example: /home/shared /home/user1/Documents /home/user1/Development The client mounts these as follows: server1:/home/shared /home/shared nfs rw,soft,intr 0 0 server1:/home/user1/Development /home/server1/user1/Development nfs rw,soft,intr 0 0 server1:/home/user1/Documents /home/server1/user1/Documents nfs rw,soft,intr 0 0 I see lots of messages like this in /var/log/syslog: May 22 10:44:31 client1 kernel: [ 1680.390484] INFO: task cp:2791 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
