I can confirm that i'm seeing this bug in 2.6.39 (from backports.org) as well. It's particularly bad because if two users are connected to the kerberized mount, and the ticket of one of them expires, access for *both* users ends up hanging this way. Interesting that it's not present in 2.6.32; i haven't been able to test that because 2.6.32 doesn't support any modern encryption types for krb5, and the domain i'm administering is restricted to modern encryption types. I'd be happy to set up test systems to debug this, including trying kernel patches if anyone can suggest something worth trying. --dkg
