Yes, absolute storms of them! I had to comment out the error reporting code in fs/nfs/dir.c because the overhead of flushing the messages to the system logs was bogging down the system. Like Olaf, I assumed they were normal - and remained from your original alpha testing.
I'm also seeing a flood of "inode mismatch" messages, but not in the same order of magnitude as the "fh changed" ones <g>.
Seriously, if this is not a good thing, let me know what I can do to help you home in on it!
