First negative comment I've seen on 2.6.  From a gentoo user today:

"Basically, I am having problems writing very large files via NFSv3 using a client with the 2.6 kernel.  The NFS export is a subdirectory on an ext3 partition.  The writes fail after transferring approximately 4.2 - 4.3 GB.  I can append the files in 1GB increments without any problems.  I can copy multiple 4.1GB files to the server without incident.  "

...

Does not fail on 2.4
