I've noticed this message in my system log over the past few days:

Apr 17 10:14:04 schiele kernel: NFS: desynchronized value of nfs_i.ncommit.

It looks like it started appearing when the following patch was applied 
to 2.6.21-rc.  Any suggestions on what I can do to debug this further?

     NFS: Fix a list corruption problem

     We must remove the request from whatever list it is currently on 
before we
     can add it to the dirty list.
