As I understand your problem seems to be with the NFS client, not the NFS server portion of the kernel. The contact for that is Trond Myklebust <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, you should also CC [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you see anything related to this message in dmsg, send that too. On the Debian side, it would be good to CC [EMAIL PROTECTED], to keep this bug up to date.
