Is it true that setting the wsize and rsize options when mounting a filesystem only affects the data transfer size over the network and that the amount of data sent is related to the file system block size? I am talking about NFS under SunOS 3.5 here but general comments would be welcome also. I'm using a very slow network connection (9600 baud SLIP to be exact) and analysing read times it seems that 8KB transfers are being performed no matter what rsize and wsize settings are used. Is this an unavoidable feature of the Berkeley file system or buffer cache? Scott Williamson scott@memex.co.uk

unfortunately, many nfs servers ignore client tsize requests. maybe yours has this bug? peter
