Alan followed up with me but we did not reach any conclusion as to what

if=/dev/hde (root drive) of=/nfs/file.img bs=1M, I have not had any issues
as far as copying files and such. For you, is it on a particular box or
boxes, have you tried copying the other direction? I use NFS over UDP btw
(v3).

# mount
mount:/disk/1 on /remote/1 type nfs
(rw,hard,intr,nfsvers=3,addr=192.168.168.253)

Are you both using NFS + software RAID? Is 4KSTACKS enabled?

IIRC people were getting stack overflows with the NFS + RAID + 4K stacks
combination.

I was not using any type of RAID, SW or HW.
4K stacks was not enabled on either machine.

I am using XFS though.
