  "Basically it means that your rpc.statd daemon is unaware of a lot
   of its clients. It is probably failing to save their IP-numbers
   to disk. Check therefore that the directories /var/lib/nfs/sm, and
   /var/lib/nfs/sm.bak (or /var/lib/nfs/statd/sm, ... on some platforms)
   are writable by the rpc.statd process."
