Comment 5 for bug 71212

I am running Edgy as well and can confirm that this bug still exists while using the 2.6.19 kernel (compiled from kernel.org using a .config that has worked for me for months). I tried 2.6.18.3 and 2.6.18.1 also, but did not get the chance to confirm for certain if the bug exists while using those kernels. However, NFS did seem to perform more consistantly there.

I can also confirm that scp'ing to the same server that's NFS-mounted does not induce hangs of any sort, and copies at a faster and more consistant speed as well. Using NFS: 4.5 MB/sec with a sawtooth-like variance in transfer speed (watching my network meter) SCP: 6.6+MB/sec with a fairly steady transfer rate.

Please someone fix this bug soon!
