Hello,
We are trying to update our linux images in our CS lab and have it a bit of an issue. We are using nfs to load user home folder. While testing the new image we found that the nfs4 module will crash when using firefox 3.6.17 for an extended period of time. Some research via google yielded that it's a potential race condition specific to nfs with krb auth with newer kernels. Our old image doesn't have this issue and it seems that its due to it running a far older kernel version.
We have two images and both are having this problem. One is running 2.6.39 and the other is 2.6.38. Here is what dmesg spit out from the machine running 2.6.39 on one occasion:
