Known issue. Could you try applying the commit at http://linux-nfs.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=nfs-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=6ce7dc940701cf3fde3c6e826a696b333092cbb1;hp=aa3d1faebe6e214cd96be0e587571477ff6fd9fc and see if that suffices to fix the issue? > > As an aside, let me express the hope that the NFS developers develop > better patch creation methods.
