And the only purpose of this server is .. nfsd. We have been upgrading to 6.X.. including 6.1 and so far the server seems, for the most part stable, until a few days ago(more below). What is a HUGE problem for us so far is that if the server hanks.. all clients that are 6.X can't unmount. 6.0 stable, 6.1 stable.. recent 6.1.. not so recent 6.1.. UDP, TCP, softmount with retrycount 1... In short. Right now I would not recommend 6.X for nfs client. > 3/ I can downgrade to 5.5.

So far 6.X has been for the most part stable as NFS sever for us.. but one of our servers has been hanging crashing and NFSD was showing as status "GIANT"... and locking.. It had 6.0 stable and upgrading it to 6.1 stable (6-26) has not helped. But other machines are ok.. so may be an application.
