Basically, the cache unification process has changes the FS/buffer interface, and you need to propagate some stuff down to the FS that NFS is a client of for it to be truly happy. The diff should pinpoint it for you. I thought John Dyson said he was already looking at this... avoid his toes if possible, I think...
