Description Thiago Rafael Becker 2022-11-17 17:55:06 UTC

Description of problem:
The patches for nfsrahead are not yet present in RHEL9, and customers are having issues with performance.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nfs-utils-2.5.4.el9

How reproducible:
100%

Actual results:
