Re: Bug#328135: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686-smp: nfs reading process stuck in disk wait

[Horms <horms@debian.org>]

Hi Marc,

would is be possible to test linux-image-2.6.12-1-686-smp from 
unstable to see if this problem persists? I am CCing the NFS
maintainer and LKML as this looks reasonably nasty and they
may be interested in looking into it.
