I know this is a centos forum but I suppose it would be appropriate to ask a redhat question :-)

Is anyone aware of a NFS client/server problem with Redhat 5.1 where the client/NFS do extra lookup() and getattr() calls? This is very similar to CentOS' problem, http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2635

My question is, would upgrading the kernel help? or is this a userland issue?

Update to 5.2

Then you can try the patched kernel offered by Johnny Hughes:

Thankyou everyone. I updated the 5.2 kernel onto 5.1 and everything seems to work fine.

Thanks for all of your help and wisdom.

You still are at risk by not updating. The kernels are a small part of the security updates that came in 5.2.

you mean, your university never installs security patches and updates?!?

5.1->5.2 is as simple as `yum update`

Or they no longer have RHN access. At which point, it would be better to move to CentOS.
