NFSD deadlocked

Hi all,
while doing a backup of a nfs mounted volume with bru (v15), the
nfsd of the server machined has completely blocked a couple of hours after
the backup started.

The server machine is a SMP PII Dual running linux 2.0.36, the client a
Pentium 133. Both having the same nfsd (nfs-server-2.2beta37) and 3Com905
connected to a 100 Mbps cisco switch.

The server gave no errors, just some nfs timeout errors in the client. I
could restart the nfsd, I had to kill it -9 and restart it.

Is it a nfs related problem or kernel (SMP) one?

Thanks.

PS: yes, sorry, I forgot to take a look to the process status, but I was
nervious, all linuxes in the LAN were nfs-blocked...
