Greetings,
Does anyone know when NFS and friends will be working again? I haven't 
been able
to /safely/ use it from 4.8 on. I remember some talk on the list 
sometime ago and
then it seemed to be resolved, as the discussion ended. So I thought it was
fixed. Seems not. :(

My scenario;
mount host off root:
mount script exec'd follows...

#!/bin/sh -
mount -t nfs host.domain.tld:/ /host
mount -t nfs host.domain.tld:/var /host/var

confirm mount...

# ls /host
.snap    COPYRIGHT    bin
...
usr    var    tmp

OK looks good...

# cp /path/to/approx/10Mb/file /host/path/to/dest/dir/

Fatal double fault
eis 0x0blah
eiblah blah0x
panic double fault
no dump device defined
rebooting in 15sec...

Hmmm... that's not good. :(

I can't remember all the "ei*" numbers between the Fatal and panic lines,
BUT I /can/ reproduce this at will - I simply need to copy a file larger
than a few k to a mounted host. Yes, this /does/ happen /every/ time.

Any and all help with this will be /GREATLY/ appreciated.

Thank you for all your time and consideration in this matter.
