I'm interested too... 2.2.10 is all that we are using. We have two large file servers, using a raid0 (software) partition made up of 4 4.3 gig scsi drives, but we have been running this for a long while and have seen no problems of any kind, using knfsd and the whole 9 yards...
I did turn off a couple of the "PARANOIA" switches in the nfs source to reduce the size of our /var/log/messages file, but we haven't seen a thing.
My quad xeon had 5 9.2 gig ultra-2 scsi drives and gets beat to death all the time with lots of file I/O, 400% cpu busy, etc.. and I haven't had any file corruption at all...
