I'm using 2.1 with the old style NFS (haven't changed anything).
It seems NFS writing may be flakey...
When I untar from a floppy disk onto an nfs mounted disk, I get intermittent corruption of the data (both actual data and size). When I untar onto local disk, I don't have the problem.
When I copy from local hard disk to nfs hard disk, I don't have a problem.
I'm using 2.1.36...(I also started to use the new tar recently... so it took me a while to narrow this down).
It: is tar version independent only happens of nfs writes with 2.1
