Re: nfs server

Are you by chance using pf "scrub" rules on the network interface your 
OpenBSD server has Linux NFS client communication on? There are known 
problems with pf "scrub" rules causing Linux NFS clients to hang. I was 
bitten by this problem a few months back with my Linux NFS clients and 
removing the "scrub" rules from the network interface my server had the 
NFS traffic on solved the problem for me.
