Hey I just found something cool: "debugfs".  Here one can see all files on the 
file system, even ones that are hidden by mounted partitions.  And, as it 
looks, this is indeed our problem:

$ mount | grep ' /nfsroot'
/dev/sda7 on /nfsroot type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)

# debugfs /dev/sda1
debugfs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
debugfs:  ls /nfsroot
 519169  (12) .    2  (12) ..    519171  (4072) 9.2   

Problem most likely found!  Now, we need to solve it - fortunately someone is 
on location today.
