Hi,
on 2 different servers, running 7.1-stable + zfs, I get this
error rather frequently:

Feb  5 17:01:03 warhol-00 kernel: impossible packet length (543383918) from 
nfs server sunfire:/dist
Feb  5 17:01:03 warhol-00 kernel: impossible packet length (1936028704) from

Feb  5 17:01:03 warhol-00 kernel: impossible packet length (0) from nfs server 
sunfire:/dist
Feb  5 17:01:03 warhol-00 kernel: impossible packet length (1647208041) from 
nfs server sunfire:/dist

in this case the server is running Freebsd-7.0-stable, but I also get it when 
the server is a
netapp.

is there a connection?

thanks,
	danny
