  Thanks for this very timely mention!  The cluster of servers I am
about to upgrade from 4.8 <embarrassed cough> to 6.2 relies heavily on
NFS to an old Netapp.  If I have got to disable rpc_lockd and
rpc_statd, it's good to know that now!
 
  Can I ask, can anybody confirm that they're running 6.2 on NFS
successfully *with* lockd and statd?
