Thomas,

thanks for the quick reply. Here is the /etc/exports (all clients are
accessing the same mountpoint):

node0101:~ # cat /etc/exports
# See the exports(5) manpage for a description of the syntax of this file.
# This file contains a list of all directories that are to be exported to
# other computers via NFS (Network File System).
# This file used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd. See their manpages for details
# on how make changes in this file effective.

/eni01      *.eni01.cineca.it(rw,no_root_squash,async,fsid=745)

And:

node0101:~ # exportfs -v
/eni01          *.eni01.cineca.it(rw,async,wdelay,no_root_squash,fsid=745)

The expoted directory is still available during the faulty condition.

It's a gpfs mountpoint exported to the clients by NFS (don't think gpfs
is an issue, I've used the same configuration in a lot of similar cases
without any problem).

BTW I see some dropped packets in the network interfaces used to export
the filesystem (bond0):

Could it lead to potential NFS problems (even if it sounds quite strange)?
