Resembles me of trouble I've recently seen on some of the machines I
maintain after updating from 2.6.27.11 to 2.6.29.[2,3], serving a few
dozend LTSP (diskless so-called thin-clients) root filesystems via NFS
from XFS - not really huge load, to be honest.

After running 2.6.29.4 for one day now I have the feeling that the
issue had been cured - but I didn't manage to get a clue about the fix.

Very few people have been reporting a similar issue here:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg545497.html

and here:

Additional information wanted ?

Cheers,
	Martin.
