Precedence: bulk
Copy to tech-kern because might be known kernel problem.
More detail on cfsd hang:
Last lines of ktrace/kdump output:
189 cfsd RET sendto 96/0x60
189 cfsd CALL select(0x4,0xefbfdd18,0,0,0)
Last syscall is to select (apparent via svc_run), which never returns.
System did not hang completely since one second later syslogd logs that it
has stopped responding.
Slowly programs which access near the /crypt stop working.
Programs which attempt to kill them stop working.
Had to reboot system with switch.
tcpdump on loopback during similar meltdown shows nothing special:

Transations x23 and x24 retry several times but never get a response.
