Dunno. I'm too busy to really dig into the sources for various problems I've
analyzed and reported; probably by the time 8.1 comes out, I'll be able to spend
more time with the sources. So much for retirement... :^)
Anyway, did you have a look at the /var/log/kernel/warnings[*gz] files to see if
you had any nfsd crashes? If you did, send me the crash data therein and I'll
keep them for analysis as more a reported...
To figure out why the connections fail, I find ethereal to be a great asset...
If you get a trace and don't understand it, feel free to save the data and send
it to me.
