Hi :)

I investigate a little more this nfs locking issue.
I recompile my system with CURRENT from "Wed Nov 19 12:53:04".
rpc.lockd core dump still appear but I noticed something: each time, just before
it crashed, I can hear a very low noise coming from my harddrive. It is hard to
describe, but it looks like if my hardrive was powering on or coming back from
hibernate mode (or something like this).
Is there a way to check this ? Like maybe a command to force hardrive not to
stop or something ?

Thanks.

Antoine
