Nope... The NFS server for this cluster is a single AMD Athlon with 256MiB
RAM. I did not see any kscand or equivalent taking so much CPU as
described in the bug reports. When the load is high, all top users are
nfsd threads.
One of the reports however reminded me of the readahead discussion. I did
some tests some time ago with 2.4.20-based kernel and did not see much
difference, however I will try it now too and write back if I see some
advantage.
