[Bug 561210] Re: Writing big files to NFS target causes system lock up

[JimWright]

Tim - yes I was still doing it over the loopback interface.  Thanks for
that link, I guess that all kind of makes sense.

Part of my problem also stems from the change to autofs5 from autofs4.
This has a separate bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/517139) filed
against it.  Thus due to the default hosts file installed by Ubuntu you
can end up with NFS mounts over the loopback interface.  I can work
around that issue myself though some additional manual configuration, as
suggested in the bug report, but it might be worth pointing out to the
autofs bug/people that it results in an unsupported configuration out of
the box so to speak.

Many thanks for you help Tim.  I think the latest proposed kernel and a
bit of manual tweaking will fix the issue I've been having.  I'll let
everyone comment on if it fixes their issues.
