Before jessie, I used to see Debian NFS servers of various sizes running for months without reboots.
After upgrading to jessie, I started to encounter crashes which have eventually been traced[1] to NFS. Other users have seen[2] this too. For anybody trying Debian as an NFS server for the first time, it may not have been the best experience. I noticed the nfs-utils package had been needing[3] some attention and so I've prepared an update to v1.3.4 for sid. While I've done some basic testing of the new nfs-utils with a backports kernel on jessie, I'm not able to test every permutation of NFS versions, Kerberos support, etc. It would be really helpful if other people who are using NFS might have a look at this too.
