[mythtv-users] OT: NFS - Anyone seen a problem like this

[Rusty McEacharn]

how many nfs servers are you starting?  i limited mine to one and had
problems when trying to play black via nfs using a hauppuage mediamvp.
 it would completely lock up the backend machine.  i set the number of
nfs servers to 2 or 4, can't remember, and all was well.
