Client side. This seems to be an entirely client side issue.

A variety of kernels on the clients starting from 4.9 and up to 5.10
using 4.19 servers. I have observed it on a 4.9 client versus 4.9 server
earlier.

4.9 fails, 4.19 fails, 5.2 fails, 5.4 fails, 5.10 works.

At present the server is at 4.19.67 in all tests.

Linux jain 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2+deb10u2 (2019-11-11)
x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can set-up a couple of alternative servers during the week, but so far
everything is pointing towards a client fs cache issue, not a server one.
