yes - it appears so
- Is the server replying to them with an error?
yes
The above might give some insight into what's happening,
Didn't help much. The server is replying with NFS3ERR_IO (EIO) for some reason. Unfortunately EIO is the catch all for just about everything. (There is only one case in the NFS server code that generates EIO and that would be caused by a bogus data mbuf list.) As such, I suspect the EIO is coming from ZFS for some reason, but can't be sure. Btw, a binary capture using tcpdump can be read into wireshark, which is much better at decoding NFS etc than tcpdump. rick
