I had the following situations:

NFS server:
linux 2.2.19

NFS Client:
linux 2.4.[32]ac[...],
linux 2.4.4ac[1-...]
[1-10] have been working fine. Beginning with ac11, I got the problems I
wrote. During this time, I never used any knfsd-patch.

The following is the combination, which seems to be working fine:

NFS Server:
linux 2.2.19 with knfsd-patch or linux 2.4.5 with the following knfsd-Patch
from Gergely Tamas <dice@mfa.kfki.hu> (I got it from the mailinglist of
reiser) (there is no patch for ac6):

I patched the original 2.4.5-sources.

NFS Client:
linux 2.4.5 with knfsd-patch.

I need the patch on both the server and the client to get it working.

I tested the following combination:

Server
2.2.19 without knfsd-Patch

Client
2.4.5ac6 without knfsd-Patch but ide=nodma

Result:
IO-Errors as I wrote in my initial posting.
