In addition to the previous message, there seemed to be two processes running of the vss and kvp daemon (while there is only one instance of fcopy). This is weird (I think), but I have seen it before with other kernels. A reboot helps in that case. This can also be an explanation for the received

@brianv I would avoid taking this to production. When these patches go into -proposed I'll recommend testing again with the rest of proposed updates to other packages, and other kernel changes that come from other bugs, and that would be a better time to consider broader tests. I would recommend
