I can confirm the same on a brand new Gutsy install with 2.6.22-14. Within 24 hours usually, this will occur. When it happens, Skype, Amarok and other apps will hang first, but eventually all apps will hang. Client reboot does nothing. nfs-kernel-server doesn't help (it doesn't clear the broken lockd, see below). Only a daily server reboot will resolve anything.

On the client side (also 2.6.22-14) I see:
syslog.0:Jan 17 23:23:21 romita kernel: [28308.368819] lockd: server kirby not responding, still trying

On the server side, if I restart nfs-kernel-server, I see:
Jan 18 08:55:37 kirby kernel: [62797.376546] lockd_down: lockd failed to exit, clearing pid

...and on the server side I will now see TWO "[lockd]" processes where before I saw one.

I don't have a 2.6.20 kernel to go back to on my new server. This is basically making my server totally unusable. I'm looking at having to drop nfs and use samba instead. GACK!
