nfsd freezes the machine?

Comment:
I am running a Gentoo Linux machine with the 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 kernel, I installed NFSd to share the directory /public and it works very nicely most of the time. I can open OpenOffice and easily save and open files to and from it but if I move a huge amount of files to the NFSd, the system just appears to freeze. It doesn't seem to panic or crash, just freeze. What could I have that is maybe flooding it? Bug?

I may have found the cause but I still want to ask. I had a FreeBSD system with the NFS in /etc/fstab and it wouldn't auto mount it even though it was set, could this have been flooding it?

It seems like it was set to noauto. I just copied a bunch of files and the system just rebooted all by itself.
