Hi Ben and other readers, I tried to find more on this issue. I have a "fix", that make things better, but not good.
First, on one of the jessie systems, I created the file /etc/request-key.d/id_legacy.conf containing: create id_legacy * * /usr/sbin/nfsidmap -t 600 %k %d This itself does not make the situation better. Since I suspect that rpc might have something to do with this, I looked at the ti-rpc library (libtirpc1 pkg) on another jessie system. Ti-rpc comes with the /etc/netconfig file. Since we don't have ipv6 here, I commented the inet6 lines. This prevents rpcbind from listening op ipv6 addresses. When I UNcommented the inet6 lines, things got better (identities were resolved in minutes). But when I rebooted this system, things were as bad as before. Note: the commented inet6 lines pose no problem on wheezy systems. However, when I applied _both_ changes to both systems things got better. Identities are always resolved (some in seconds, some in minutes), but some files still have bad identities (0xFFFFFFFE), notably new ones. Where I created the new files (i.e. on a jessie-mounted partition, a wheezy-mounted partition or directly on the xfs filesystem itself) did not make a difference. This situation is stable for over a day now. Btw, both systems run the regular jessie kernel (3.14.15-2), both have amd64 architecture. Hope this helps in narrowing the search.
