I have a webserver running a rather old 2.6.13.4 kernel that a few

I just got one more of these (well, slightly different, but same basic
issue). This time it was one of my mailservers, also running 2.6.13.4.

kernel: nfs_update_inode: inode -1073741693 mode changed, 0040700 to 0100644

The server exporting the filesystem is running 2.6.18.1 (knfsd) -
nothing is logged on the server...

This time it's a different NFS server (still using knfsd), this one is
running kernel 2.6.20. Still nothing logged at the server side.

So a file changed type and permissions out of the blue. A few
questions about that:

Any way I can identify the file (or is it a dir now ;) ?
Does anyone know if this is a known bug that's been fixed? I couldn't
find anything via google or git that looked like a fix.

These questions still apply :-)
