2.6.33-rc4 with the fix does address this issue, though I am now
occasionally seeing 'Stale NFS file handle' during parallel kernel
compilation over NFS4 [1], seemingly when stat(2) is called.
Client mount options are:
x1:/ /net nfs4 rw,relatime,vers=4,rsize=262144,wsize=262144,namlen=255,acregmin=30,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.10.2,addr=192.168.10.250
0 0
I'll see which -rc this was introduced in, from limited time.
Thanks,
Daniel
