Re: copying large files over NFS locks up machine on-testing from Thursday

[Kip Macy <kip.macy@gmail.com>]

I just updated to 2.0.6. Large NFS transfers work fine with the
default configuration. If xend has been started (i.e. the bridge has
been configured) the machine will become unresponsive when copying a
large file over NFS.

I'll just skip migration testing for now.
