And even on Linux machines, NFS has been, well, "functional"

It actually seems to work pretty well these days, our
general config is:
1) No automounter
2) Hard mounts (so jobs just hang if they loose contact)
3) NFS over TCP (NFS over UDP is sooo 1990's :-))
4) Jumbo frames (9000 byte MTUs) on the NFS network
5) NFS file server has hardwired fsid's to prevent stale file handles on a
reboot
6) Debian, not RHEL on the server
7) XFS for /home on the server
Speaking of jumbo frames, I'm seeing a problem on a Broadcom 57xx
chipset on CentOS 4.3, 2.6.9-67 kernel (yeah, I know) and a tg3 driver.
I can't make the thing recognize the ability to use jumbo frames.
Anyone got a fix?
