Problem: Processes will remain in 'D'ead state trying to read
files from automounted nfs filesystems.

ps output:
FLAGS UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STA TTY TIME
COMMAND
0 500 23592 1 0 0 1068 484 wait_on_pag D ? 0:00
less test.txt
0 500 23632 1 0 0 756 276 wait_on_pag D ? 0:00
cp boot.img rescue
.img supp.img /home/priitr/rh52/

Nothing gets displayed, nothing gets copied.
Also, when i tryed to copy ca. 450M file using nfs(this time not
automounted), i got about
60M of data, then cp died('D' again).
