(Get the code!)
Today I made the mistake of upgrading to 11.04 - instead of solving this annoying old issue, the new version of the distribution made it even worse!
But well, first the good news: In 11.04, usually not the whole machine freezes completely (as it was before) but only 'plasma-desktop', 'dolphin' and the application which tries to read from the NFS share. Also they tend to 'unfreezes' themselves after some minutes, which is another advance.
Now the bad news: The issue is now triggered much more easily - not only the copying of large files freezes the applictaions now, but almost any reading operation form the NFS shares which cause more traffic than a simple directory listing.
In other words: After having upgraded to 11.04, I am now more cut off from my data on the NFS shares than I have been ever before!
Also my workaround that I described above doesn't work under these new conditions anymore.
I'm really stunned how they could make this whole catastrophe even more disastrous instead of finally fixing it after years...
Tomorrow I'll finally try to replace the NIC in my computer. I really hope this helps, because under those new conditions, the point is reached, where this issue really starts to make working with my computer impossible.
