Thank you very much for your advice.

I tested your suggestion and run the machine without NFS-mounted devices - it
seems to be working fine.

Anyway - I'm wondering why I didn't get any problem until 2.4.4ac10 with this
configuration without the appropriate patch on the client or on the server?

I'm a little bit confused now about this patch.
Do I need this knfsd-patch for the NFS-server or just for the clients or for
both?

Thank you for your advice,
Andreas Hartmann
