I just upgraded two of my boxes here to 2.6.9-rc1 pulled from BitKeeper
a few hours ago. One of them is my NFS server, using the kernel NFS
daemon and serving XFS filesystems. The other is an NFS root client,
using the kernel's autoconfiguration and NFS root mounting (using all
default mount options).
After booting the NFS client, I had very strange behavior when creating
symlinks on the NFS root if the link target path began with '.'. Just
this sequence:
# mkdir foo
# cd foo
# ln -sf . test1
# ln -sf . test2
...
Would result in a successfully created link but an error message from ln
reporting "stale NFS file handle".
Switching the NFS root client's mount to v3 from v2 seems to have
avoided the problem.

I'm getting similar trouble, though I've not noticed the nfs version
workaround.
