Hi Kamil, Thanks for the patch. I've applied and pushed that. I adjusted the comment, since I view this addition not as a feature, but rather as a kludge to work around brokenness in the NFS4 implementation. Even though it affects only du and find now, the fact that everyone incurs a performance penalty for the work-around is irksome.
