Looks like the global lock list is corrupted. Could you cat the contents
of /proc/locks?

Those errors are unrelated. These errors come from the server.

Error "7" is the equivalent of "ESTALE" (stale filehandle). That means
either someone deleted the file you are trying to lock on the server, or
that a bug caused nfsd  to somehow lose track of the file.

I suspect the Error "1" is related to the same issue.

Sorry, I meant 'nlm_debug'.
