FreeBSD 4.9 hangs when accessing NetApp NFS mounts.

[Stephen Fulton]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with FreeBSD 4.9 accessing our NetApp.  It appears 
that when FreeBSD accesses a large file (100MB for instance), it will read 
part of it, then the program locks up.  Afterwards, anything that tries to 
access any NFS drive locks.  Only a reboot will solve this.  I did some 
Google'ing, and looked at the Handbook, and set the NFS drives read & write 
to 1024, and this improved things slightly, but the problem remains.

Can anyone suggest something?
