I keep getting errors in this fashion (I'm afraid I have no serial console, so this is manually copied stuff):

The most obvious trigger seems to have been exportfs, I eventually turned off the stats report I had running from the workstation and since then I have had a single report. While stats was running, reports seemed to coincide with full load as reported by stats. I've seen #I0tcpack appear in earlier reports and etherread4 beside the more frequent exportfs. Any idea what IO ought to be looking out for? I have recompiled the 9pccpuf kernel from up to date sources (as up to date as replica can make them, I was tempted to make local copies of /sys/src/9, but then I thought I'd have to make sure the libaries are up to date too, and that was going to be a bit of a mission. I checked the libraries, though, and the sizes and dates all seem to correspond with "sources" so I can only presume there's a gremlin somewhere. ++L PS: There's a marginal chance that dns is involved. My Internet connectivity isn't very robust and I note that dns gets pretty overwhelmed when things aren't good. It's hard to pinpoint the exact circumstances: I don't have an active console that I can observe all the time for unexpected reports.
