after adding a SPARC IPX with Solaris 2.6 to our workgroup, the user nfsd of our Linux server dies about once a day. I tried to narrow it down, but that's hard on a live file server. I got a backtrace once, and nfsd dies in free().

we now use the --fail-safe option for nfsd, which restarts a new nfsd after it the old one died. And as the Solaris box used nfs over TCP, yesterday I switched to UDP, but right now, I don't know, wether this makes any difference.
