nfs_update_inode: inode 309229856 mode changed, 0100644 to 0040755 - kernel 2.6.13.4

[Jesper Juhl]

I have a webserver running a rather old 2.6.13.4 kernel that a few
minutes ago surprised me by logging the following message :

 kernel: nfs_update_inode: inode 309229856 mode changed, 0100644 to 0040755

The server exporting the filesystem is running 2.6.18.1 (knfsd) -
nothing is logged on the server...

So a file changed type and permissions out of the blue.  A few
questions about that:

Any way I can identify the file (or is it a dir now ;) ?
Does anyone know if this is a known bug that's been fixed? I couldn't
find anything via google or git that looked like a fix.

I just got one more of these (well, slightly different, but same basic
issue). This time it was one of my mailservers, also running 2.6.13.4.

  kernel: nfs_update_inode: inode -1073741693 mode changed, 0040700 to 0100644

This time it's a different NFS server (still using knfsd), this one is
running kernel 2.6.20. Still nothing logged at the server side.

These questions still apply :-)
