I have had some problems with NFS lately.
Have not had the time to debug it properly, so I have no bugzilla entry.
Seems like a locking problem, so I changed my fstab to mount the 
NFS-shares "nolock", and that seemed to fix the problem.

This is 2 rawhide clients (both x86_64 and i386) mounting an Fedora 5 
server.
It started about one week ago, but I don't update and reboot the 
rawhide-clients daily, so it might have been a few more days since the 
updated that actually caused it.
