You need to apply the patches at http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/ (specifically the seekdir patch), as well as supply the 32bitclients option to the IRIX NFS server in 2.4.9. Previous 2.4.X kernels didn't require the 32bitclients option on the IRIX server for some reason. After doing both of these things, everything appears to work properly over here in my testing. -Dave
