The "fh changed" messages don't indicate a problem and would occur with knfsd
whenever it needs to get a new dentry for the file.

The inode should change only if the file in question was deleted and recreated
with a new inode number. When you see these messages, are they for things like
temp files that would only exist breifly?

Anyway, I think the messages can be removed; the revalidation code seems to be
working just fine.
