Stale filehandles is the main problem right now, and I don't see how
nfs_raname would be related (just that it was there while I was having
trouble with the stale file handles...)

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.1/2.6.1-mm4/broken-out/nfsd-01-stale-filehandles-fixes.patch

This one looks particularly interesting...

Most of the nfs client patches are for NFS4 or RPCSEC_GSS.  Except for:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.1/2.6.1-mm4/broken-out/

nfs-26-sock_disconnect.patch
nfs-31-attr.patch
nfs-client-deadlock-fix.patch
nfs-fix-bogus-setattr-calls.patch
nfs-open-intent-fix.patch
nfs-optimise-COMMIT-calls.patch
nfs-readonly-mounts-fix.patch
nfs-rpc-debug-oops-fix.patch

These might be interesting to test, but so far I haven't had troubles with
the stock Linus 2.6 nfs3 client.

I was getting alot of nfsv3 stale file handles with 2.6.1-mm1 so I dropped back to 2.6.1.

mm5 seems to have fixed everything.

I have been having them consistently with 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 clients 
against 2.6.0 and/or 2.6.1 servers.

2.6.1 and 2.6.0 against a 2.4.x server has no problems.
