hi!

Yes we did indeed get this to work. Mr CentOS himself (aka Johnny Hughes) has kindly compiled and provided kernels with fixes for this bug that Redhat seems quite unwilling to solve, an attitude I do not understand at all.

You can find them at http://people.centos.org/~hughesjr/kernel/5/x86_64

with kind regards, Bent Terp

Hi,

While googling our own problem with this same kernel or newer but running Redhat Enterprise rather than CentOS, we are seeing the same really high NFS ops to our Netapp systems rather than an EMC, we are using very similar NFS mount options as you listed, but so far Redhat has not been overly helpful on this, and kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.x86_64.rpm - 53.1.14 are still giving us the same errors/issues.

Did you ever find a solution, issue, anything about the cause of this? Any help you might provide would be great!

Thank you in advance for your time.
