I am getting some odd problems with NFS under 2.2.2. Not certain if this is a
kernel problem or an nfsd problem.

When I try to dump a tar file to a Redhat 5.2 system with a 2.2.2 kernel, I get
a broken pipe message after a certain point and a bunch of error messages like
this:

Mar 8 06:23:15 union nfsd[21255]: strange write req from <anon clnt>: count
1622045297 len 8192
Mar 8 06:23:23 union nfsd[21255]: strange write req from <anon clnt>: count

Mar 8 07:08:27 union nfsd[21255]: strange write req from <anon clnt>: count
1246579296 len 8192

The sending system is BSDI 2.1.

Any ideas? If not a kernel issue is there a resource/maintainer for NFS that
is available? I would really like to get this resolved.

Thanks!
