Hi,

I found a very serious MFS client bug in 1.99.14 which exists since
1.3.8x. Once a while I get:

nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5
BIO: 166588 successful reads, 71 failures
nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5
BIO: 167560 successful reads, 72 failures
nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5
BIO: 168538 successful reads, 73 failures
nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5

nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5
nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5

nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5

nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5

nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5
nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5

nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5
BIO: 185133 successful reads, 80 failures
nfs_rpc_verify: RPC call failed: 5
BIO: 186111 successful reads, 81 failures

The results I get range from corrupted files to failed commends. Is
there a fix for it? BTW, my NFS server is also 1.99.14 with
Universal NFS Server, version 2.2beta4.

Thanks.
