Hi,
I've now got the beginnings of a patch for implementing clustering of writes. In essence, I've adapted the code that was used by Olaf Kirch in his (still) incomplete NFSV3-patch, and have added some hooks that will be used to implement 8k reading once the writing is reasonably stable...
The patch should hopefully give a reasonable improvement in writing speed against servers with support for 8k wsize and write gathering. It should apply cleanly to stock linux-2.2.0-pre9, and can be picked up from
http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/nfsv2-wsize-0.3.dif
Enjoy, Trond
