unfsd appears to suffer from the same problem only it has a higher
treshold for them to appear.
We're seeing the same behaviour with larger files created.

for i in `seq 1 10`; do dd count=400000 bs=1024 if=/dev/zero
of=/root/test-tools/test.tst; ls -lha /root/test-tools/test.tst ; rm
/root/test-tools/test.tst ; done

400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
dd: closing output file `/root/test-tools/test.tst': No space left on device
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 328K Feb 22 09:53 /root/test-tools/test.tst
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
dd: closing output file `/root/test-tools/test.tst': No space left on device
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176K Feb 22 09:53 /root/test-tools/test.tst
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
dd: closing output file `/root/test-tools/test.tst': No space left on device
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168K Feb 22 09:53 /root/test-tools/test.tst
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
dd: closing output file `/root/test-tools/test.tst': No space left on device
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176K Feb 22 09:53 /root/test-tools/test.tst

A test with the same command directly onto the local filesystem runs
without problems.

for i in `seq 1 10`; do dd count=400000 bs=1024 if=/dev/zero
of=/data/bonnie++/test.tst; ls -la /data/bonnie++/test.tst ; rm
/data/bonnie++/test.tst ; done
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 409600000 Feb 22 09:59 /data/bonnie++/test.tst
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 409600000 Feb 22 09:59 /data/bonnie++/test.tst
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 409600000 Feb 22 09:59 /data/bonnie++/test.tst
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 409600000 Feb 22 09:59 /data/bonnie++/test.tst
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 409600000 Feb 22 10:00 /data/bonnie++/test.tst

Any help would be much appreciated.

Based on a comment from Lee Revell, I can reproduce the same behaviour
with both sync & async options set on the nfs server (kernel and userspace)

Regards,

Ramon
