Hi all, I removed the vers=3 and some other NFS v3 related mount options since my host supports NFS versions up to 4.1 and the issues seem to have disappeared!
As this is only happening (and NFS is only needed) in my local VM, this works for me ;-) If the issue comes back, I'll continue debugging NFS and report back here.

Maybe in the new versions one of the apps started doing lots of mini writes with fsync? Wout.

The branches here map directly to the channels that you can fetch publicly. If you figure out which files are being used by nfs then it's a matter of running a diff between the different branches. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/blob/nixos-16.09/nixos/modules/services/network-filesystems/nfsd.nix doesn't seem to have changed since 16.03. It seems to be using the nfs-utils which you can find in the pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix and follow from there. nfs-utils seems to have changed: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/blob/nixos-16.09/pkgs/os-specific/linux/nfs-utils/default.nix There is also the kernel module that you might want to dig into. I know it's not a direct solution but hopefully it will give you some more things to try out.

Do you know by any chance if with the upgrade to nixos-16.09 a newer version of NFS is included than in 16.03? Maybe some default parameters in NFS have changed causing this havoc. As a more general question: how can I see which version of package x is used in nixos version y?

I've disabled the firewall and fail2ban services, let's hope that does the trick! I'll report back when things are better..

Or try to change the kernel and NFS versions. I know it's not much help, all I can recommend is to try and replace each component to reduce the error.

The load of the vm is increasing over time without any signs in the output of top. Bash completion when traversing directories stalls and the whole system becomes unresponsive after about 5 to 10 minutes with top showing a load > 30. Even rebooting fails with several services failing to stop (eg. fail2ban, phpfpm, ). This has everything to do with NFS: as soon as I disable the NFS mounts, the system maintains normal operation. Nginx / phpfpm are using NFS mounted folders for local development. These are the filesystem declarations in the nixops expression: fileSystems."/data/dev" = { device = "d01:/data/dev"; fsType = "nfs"; options = [ "defaults" "noatime" "nolock" "noacl" "vers=3" "udp" "actimeo=1" ]; }; fileSystems."/extra/Documents" = { device = "d01:/extra/Documents"; fsType = "nfs"; options = [ "defaults" "noatime" "nolock" "noacl" "vers=3" "udp" "actimeo=1" ]; }; with d01 being declared in extrahosts networking.extraHosts = "192.168.121.1 d01 d01.local"; Has anyone an idea how this could be related to the upgrade to 16.09? On 16.03 this all worked normally..
