Hello!

Here a some more information:
- sometimes the whole systems crash - sometimes they are still alive
- if they are alive fdisk consumes 99% CPU
- fdisk cannot be killed also not with kill -9
- the same happens with a cat on /dev/sdX
- no problem when trying to access /dev/hdX

What do you mean by "booted through NFS"? Do you mean the machine
runs with the root file system mounted via NFS? Or does it mean you
booted, and started the NFS server?
