Hi,

It looks to me that after reboot the machine, do a du frm a client,
during du running, the nfsd eats lots of cpu. However, after du
exits, the nfsd still eats lots of cpu. Don't know what happened,
I will give latest RELENG_6 a shot. If that does not work, I probably
goes back to 6.0-R or even 5.5-PR :(

By the way, I have another nfs server (mainly for backup), running
6.1-RELEASE, does not have this behavior.

When do you start to notice this problem? Since 6.1-RC or?

Thanks,
