RHEL: NFS hangs after upgrading from RHEL5 to RHEL6
Issue
- We have eight rhel 5 servers that we started upgrading to rhel6 (fresh clean install), what we have discovered after upgrading a couple is that in rhel 6, the NFS locks up after a bit of heavier traffic to the nfs.

We can reproduce this every time. However, we can not duplicate this on rhel 5 servers on the same network. We can duplicate this on different hardware and even a VM. We use the same NFS mount options as we did with RHEL5 etc. etc. etc. but it locks up every time.
