Ran http://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=trondmy/linux-nfs.git;a=summary, testing branch for a day without problem. Then I backed to 3.4.41 + http://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=136643651710066&w=2 + http://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=136674349127504&w=2 this morning, been using all day without problem. It is a good start but not conclusive yet. Is http://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=136674349127504&w=2 supposed to fix my type of problem?
