CentOS - Apr 2011 - rhel nfs bug with 5.5 - nfsd: blocked for more then 120 sec

Hi all,

I ran into this bug on my NFS server which is serving an XFS fs;

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616833

It was suggested using bind mounts.

My current fstab on my server is;

/dev/sdc1	/SHARE	xfs	defaults,noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8,uquota	1 2

Unsure how to integrate bind mounts in this scheme to see if I can  
avoid this bug until it is fixed.

Any ideas?

That's not the mount that matters.  The suggestion had to do with 
loopback mounts where the same machine is a client.  Those could be bind 
mounts, symlinks, or just pointed directly at the real location instead. 
  If you aren't doing that you might just need more memory.
