A user also asked[2] about this on the linux-fsdevel list a few months ago. With the next Debian release freeze approaching, what will it take to ensure a stable experience for NFS users? Are there any known problems for NFS in the current Debian kernel[3]? Which version of nfs-utils should be distributed? The current package is quite old[4]. Debian jessie-backports contains a 4.7.9 kernel, should that be compatible with the nfs-utils package v1.2.8 and other related things in jessie?
