I didnt run it long enough to notice if memory grew. Fuse-dev says 
nfs-kernel-server is depricated and suggested unfs3 which also didnt 
work. I was hoping its 'removable' option would help, but no. 
nfs-user-server had an interesting option of re-exporting other nfs 
mounts, but damn if I couldnt get the client to even mount using it 
without permission denied no matter what I did.

Odd that the userspace nfsd's have the same issue. Samba is the only 
thing that works. I cant put glusterfs on these boxes either. Hurts.
