Ideally we would, yes, write such a program. We do not have one currently for
this particular problem.
For the previous NFS-related "file-caching" bug (fixed in the 2.6.13/2.6.14
kernels by Trond Mykelbust), we did produce such a tool. However, that tool does
not appear to trigger this new problem.
I hope to be trying to reproduce this issue next week. If we can do so reliably,
we can write such an application.
