I had grabed a small patch for the linux nfs server on lkml. It's set the
file handle size on the linux nfs server to a value (older) IRIX Versions
(and HP-UX 10.20) can understand. I have used this patch till 2.4.9. Maybe
it works with 2.4.10 too.
It works for me, but use it at your own risk.
Or use NFS v2.
