You can turn on NFS write clustering and async I/O, both violations of the NFS protocol specification (and the default for System V and Linux systems, where the write is ack'ed before it is performed, so if a crash happens before the write really happens, any files that clients are writing to may be corrupt when the server comes back up). Other errors? I am aware of problems in -current, but know of no problems in the release code... maybe you could be more specific?
