- NFSv4 using 100% of system resources.
- We have users running applications off NFS mount points. When the application is started using NFS version 4 the application will not start the system will become unresponsive. Using NFSv3 will allow the application to run.
- NFS state manager thread stuck in an infinite loop trying to return delegations.
Environment

- AIX 7.1 NFSv4 server with delegations enabled
- Customer was running the GlassFish java application server on the NFSv4 mounted filesystem
