It is in "nfs_vnops.c" where it says "nfs_fsync: not dirty". I am not familiar with the NFS code enough to speculate how it actually gets to that point (what conditions might cause it to be called): if ((bp->b_flags & B_DELWRI) == 0) panic("nfs_fsync: not dirty"); Any advice on how to resolve this issue is very welcome. I am using NFSV2 because NFSV3 at the time we set this up was not stable enough. Has NFSv3 improved enough yet? Thanks.
