Hi,
my NFS client machines (opensuse 12.1) freeze if i try to copy large files to the NFS Server (opensuse 11.4). It seems that the /proc filesystem blocks somewhere and user processes freeze therefore. The files are ~10GB and bigger than RAM+swap (=8GB). It also works if i generate a 10GB file with dd on the nfs mounted filesystem. Can someone confirm? Or has a solution?

It is hard to say why things like this happen. Here's one experience I've had. If the network is weak and can't handle a massive influx of packets sometimes sending few large packets is a better idea. Mount your NFS partition using large rsize/wsize settings (say, 1MB) and see if that helps.
