Which version?
uname was further in the report (i used reportbug so It should have been
there. At the time of report it was 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem.
That's not the package version but the ABI version.
2. Duplicate filenames are given when doing an "ls"
3. Trigger happens when a rename (mv) happens on a directory with a large number of files.
4. Does not matter which machine does the rename/mv (Any box connected to the NFS) the duplicate filenames still show up under DomU
5. Does not appear to happen to directories with a limited number of files. I have one directory with> 9k files which this does happen on (mail directory)
This is probably an effect of the NFS block size - any directory smaller
than a single block is likely to be readable atomically.
Upped the block size and same issue.
(rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,fg,nolock,nfsvers=3,tcp,actimeo=0,addr=10.0.0.7).
Prior, it was just mounted with defaults
I think that's the default block size now.

Looking at a pcap, NFSClient doesn't appear to be asking the server for
the filenames, however, there is a large number of "ACCESS" and
"GETATTR" requests. Most are returned as "Directory", a few are
returned as "Regular File". Of the Regular files, there is 3 returned,
all the same file handle, and appear to be the same stats. There is
matching GETATTR calls prior to each Regular File Reply, and a number of
requests in between each one.
touching the file to update the mtime does not resolve the issue.

What about touching the directory?
