No "Stale NFS handle" messages. The only suspect item is the infamous "nfs
warning: mount version older than kernel" which results from my having to use
the 2.6.0-test9 kernel version to get driver support for the serial ATA drives
I am using. mount doesn't actually appear to have changed, but might this
warning actually be causing the problem?
