My primary apache box running 2.2.15 + delack-timer-5 has now 5 days of
uptime. It's almost a record but I need at least two weeks' uptime to
confirm stability. The box runs nfs-client and I'm planning to install
nfs-server (knfsd). My experience let me assert that lockup problem is not
nfs-related. The apache box crashed many times without even nfs server or
client compiled, and its crash rate didn't change after I'd installed
nfs-client.
