random clients stall out at Error: Ioctl/1.1a failed: Bad file descriptor

[v-gudmk]

I had the same problem some clients worked some didn't.  Finally I tried
disabling NBD and enabling NFS as described here: 
http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/customizing-thin-client.html
http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/customizing-thin-client.html 
. I followed the instructions under "However, some people still want to use
NFS. Fortunately, it's easy to switch back to NFS, if it's so desired:".

Now my Dell OptiPlex GX1 client comes up, finally.  I realize this is just a
workaround, there's something wrong in the NBD setup but I couldn't figure
it out.  I'm using Ubuntu intrepid 8.10.

Regards,
