Hi Trond,
>From the FAQ, the answer to B9 states:
Currently the Linux NFS client has a limitation which prevents it from
safely generating large synchronous writes. The client breaks large write
requests into on-the-wire write operations that are no larger than a
single page to guarantee that write requests arrive on the server's disk
in byte order (some applications depend on this behavior). Even if you set
wsize larger than a page, the client will break any application write
request into page-sized NFS write operations to meet this guarantee.
I was wondering if you could explain what the limitation is.
Regards,

>=20
The limitation is that writepage and friends all work using single
pages.
It is therefore not an NFS client limitation, it is a VFS limitation...
Cheers,
Trond
