This machine shows a loadav of 3 though only 1 job seems to be running. I
believe that update and biod (PID 111) are stuck (pri -15), but I have no
idea why. I tried 'kill -9 111 176' which I presume fails because their
pri is too low.
Can anyone tell me what causes this? It looks like an NFS problem. Is it
possible for an NFS request to fail and lockup the process?
