You might be able to see NFS flooding with:
Write file on client.
rm the file during the write on the server.
The client now gets IO-errors, but keeps trying forever.
Maybe it depends on the mechanism the client application uses to write
the file.
I never reported because my client is an old 7.0-stable system.
I originally noticed it when downloading files with seamonkey on my
client and mv it on the server to another partition before it was
completely downloaded.
