NFS: v4 server returned a bad sequence-id error! with NetApp Ontap before 8.2.3

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Logs in /var/log/messages that NFS returned a bad sequence-id error
  • We are using NFSv4 to a Netapp Filer
  • After a few of these bad sequence-id errors it was not possible any more to write or touch a file on the vFiler Share anymore.
  • Example of log message:
kernel: NFS: v4 server 10.0.0.138  returned a bad sequence-id error!

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 (kernel-2.6.18-371.el5) although likely any RHEL NFS Client can be affected.
  • NetApp Filer with OnTap 8.2.1P2
  • NFSv4
