   Yes, although the problems with NFS in 2.1.x appear to be less severe
than those that people have seen in -current. The bugs appear to mostly be
race conditions when doing certain types of NFS operations (I can't be more
specific), and bugs in certain types of error recovery. Many people have
reported that they have never seen an NFS related problem even though they
use NFS heavily. I think that most of the problems only occur when there
is a high level of concurrency.
