Are you NFS-automounting anything? Generally when we see a system do
something like that it's because the automounter is hosed and new mounts
aren't happening. Result: processes go into a "D" state (ps auxwwwwww)
as they wait on NFS I/O but nothing happens, and the load average goes
through the roof.
