What ONTAP release, what Linux kernel, what NFS mount options?

I knew I'd missed things...

It's ONTAP 7.2.4. I can upgrade to 7.2.5 if that'll help.

The Linux kernel is 2.6.18-6-686 (Debian 4.0, 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch4), and the problem also shows with 2.6.8-2-686-smp and 2.6.5--286tg3susesfs.

I noticed this when mounting with proto=tcp,vers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192. I'd also tried UDP, and the problem persisted.

But after your email I tried vers=2 and the problem goes away (with both TCP and UDP) which is interesting indeed. Although with the crazy size files and filesystems around here, NFSv3 is very desirable.

thanks, Dave
