Hi all,

sorry that this is only a "me too", just want to add a different setup
with the same symptoms:

machine: AlphaStation 250 4/266
kernel : 2.1.129-pre1

read/writes to nfs-mounted volumes result in the process sticking in "D"
state, not acting on signals. Setting rsize=8192,wsize=8192 cures the
problem. Volumes are mounted via autofs.

Gruss,
Matthias
