I have tested the patch on top of linux-2.6 2.6.32-37 on a production server and we no longer experience the NFS uid/gid issue. The issue can easily be tested by doing "ls -l $file" on a NFS mount. The values will show up correctly. After "cat $file > /dev/null; ls -l $file" it will suddenly show wrong uid/gid values of: 4294967294/4294967294 (-2/-2) Waiting for about 20 seconds "ls -l $file" will show again correct values. So the client cached values are clearly the problem. I strongly recommend to include the patch into the next stable point release as this is major NFS regression from Debian Lenny.
