I revert back to 2.4.21 and the problem ceased, interesting is the
strace difference between 2.4 and 2.6:

2.4:
nis_syscall(0x28f90, 0x58)              = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
statfs("/", {f_type="EXT2_SUPER_MAGIC", f_bsize=4096, f_blocks=498576, f_bfree=189806, f_bavail=164479, f_files=253440, f_ffree=181239, f_fsid={0, 0}, f_namelen=255, f_frsize=1
}) = 0

2.6:
nis_syscall(0x29240, 0x58)              = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
