NFS reliability

[Mike Woods]

Recently we have been doing a study of NFS fileservers and we have
come across unreliability in NFS (i.e writing something to a remote
file and finding something different when reading it back) when the
server was under extreme load. Now we are starting to notice the same
behaviour on our existing Sun fileservers. 

The question is, have other noticed this and does anyone know why
it happens? And, of course, does anyone know how to stop it?
