Thanks. At least it's useful to know that the message can be ignored as it comes out EVERY 30 SECONDS (not every 30 min) !! I found that the suggested rsyslog /etc/rsyslog.d/40-discard.conf did not work (on Ubuntu 12.04.5 with Trusty kernel and rsyslog version 5.8.6-1ubuntu8.9), so I used the file

Thanks. I'll look into trying this on a test VM and let you know the outcome. Do I just download these "mainline" kernel files using wget :- linux-image-4.2.0-*generic*rc4201507271733_i386.deb and corresponding linux-headers-* ? and then follow instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainl

We get this problem on servers 12.04.5 running Trusty kernel 3.13.0-65-generic (and on 12.04.4 running Quantal kernel 3.5.0-54 ) /etc/fstab has a slash at the start of the NFS server path /proc/mounts has an unnecessary extra "/" on the NFS path: like this :- nfs-server://home/users /export/home
