Struggling on NFS problem

[Cheng-Lin Yang]

Hi Jeremy,
I certainly will, it seems to upgrading to RELENG_8 will be a highly possible solution for the issue. Therefore, I already scheduled a upgrade window on this Friday night and will keep updating you guys the result once the upgrade is done.

I would also like to know that is it ok to update the source up to RELENG_8 by applying all NFS patches at the same time? Since it's a production machine, I have to make sure these two steps can be perform at the same time without any concern. 

Finally, just curious that why the problem only shows up on FreeBSD clients?

Regards,
Cheng-Lin Yang

Can you please try upgrading to RELENG_8 and see if the problem goes
away?  Rick has made/committed many improvements to NFS in RELENG_8 that
don't exist in 8.0-RELEASE.
