Apparent duplicate of this expired bug, reproducing on 12.04 LTS which
is still supported.

I get several errors of the following form on the client side of an NFS4
mount. I Issue may be related to the large number of files in the mount
point, there are about 150K in there.

NFS: directory xxx contains a readdir loop.Please contact your server
vendor.  The file: xxx has duplicate cookie xxx

The software fails with " Too many levels of symbolic links". No errors
appear on the server log.

3.- I expect the software to access the files and no readdir loop errors
to occur

4.- Software fails with Too many levels of symbolic links, kernel logs
NFS: directory xxx contains a readdir loop.Please contact your server
vendor.  The file: xxx has duplicate cookie xxx

No apparent problems are present on the server and I can share out the
same filesystem via SMB without any issues.

Attaching ubuntu-bug, version signature and lspci from both client and
server side.
