Subject: [NFS] I am seeing a problem with a storm of mount requests to a server from a single client

It appears what is happening is the client sends a bunch of mounts for
different, but similar paths to the server. They all have the same XID.
A bunch of mounts with a different similarity have a 2nd XID. This
occurs on boot (the mounts are in fstab).

This sounds like it may be a problem with the entropy and the random
number generator. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?

The problem is occurring on various kernels such as 2.6.16, 2.6.18, and
2.6.9 and various versions of nfs-utils.

Thanks

Frank Filz
