Update: Broken NFS server in F-9 and F-10/ difficulties to boot 100 mbit clients

[Johan Kragsterman]

                                                   Hi!

Want to report success! I earlier reported problems to boot 100mbit 
clients connected after 2 switches. Since I changed to nbd-boot, the 
problems doesn´t exist anylonger, I also tried connecting 100 mbits 
clients after 3 switches, and it works fine. For me it´s no problems 
anylonger, I like the nbd approach, but there might be some nfs people 
around.........?

I wrote a detailed analysis of what happened here.  We finally came to 
agreement today about how to fix it.  Hopefully we will have test 
packages tomorrow and be able to push it to Fedora updates quickly.

Meanwhile, here are the current recommendations to workaround this issue.

1) Switch to NBD boot instead of NFS.  It is a little more work, but 
your thin clients will boot faster.

2) Remove the tcpwrappers package (if you don't need quotas this might 
be OK)

3) Downgrade to the previous version of nfs-utils:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/nfs-utils/1.1.2/7.fc9/
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/nfs-utils/1.1.4/4.fc10/
