OK. The earliest kernel I could find around here was 2.6.17-7 (linux- image-2.6.17-7-generic) and it has the problem too. I am pretty damn sure -6 didn't have the problem although without one to actually test I cannot be absolutely positive. I did run -6 for quite a while so I am sure I would have noticed this problem.
Just to further confirm it being an Ubuntu kernel problem, I have these same problems even if I mount the exported on the same on the same host that's exporting it. Is there an SCCS repo kept somewhere that I can view the changes from -6 to -7? -- Permission Denied on nfs clients for only some files https://launchpad.net/bugs/62308 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
