Try the most recent CVS of xfs. It's at 2.4.6-pre1 now which seems to do 
well in NFS serving btw. I just finished some tests with a linux server and 
linux/NCR MP-RAS clients.

Impressive! Our 3Com 3300 Switch was reading 99/100 procent usage :-)

Dump some errors in the mailing list and maybe we can figure out what's
