i have 2 questions:

1) how to debug this, to confirm that this is caused by NFS server not
sending unique cookies? (to try to report to the "vendor" of the
NFS server)

2) does it make sence to try to gracefully work-around this problem on
the linux side? or would it significantly complicate things?

Best,
v.
