The hash seed is 80f11989-89cc-4046-80d8-4aef72a7f80f (extracted with
tune2fs -l).  The listing is attached.

This happens very regularly.  Each time it does I create a new directory
and move everything over, which presumably works because it rehashes
everything and/or changes the alignment of particular direntries with
respect to the NFS reply packets.  What I'm saying is that if the
filesystem is getting into an inconsistent state, it is doing so at a
very high rate.  I'll check it anyway... all OK.
