Subject: Why was the NFS mount option wsize removed?
To: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 95 9:51:59 EST
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL1]
Sender: current-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

Can someone please tell me whether the old mount option for write buffer size

/dev/sd0e       /usr    ufs     rw,wsize=1024 1 2

can be achieved in some other manner? 

Default NFS buffer sizes are too large when using WD 8003 ethernet
cards to support DISKLESS clients.

mount_nfs has a "-w" switch but how what option in /etc/fstab or /etc/exports
will invoke it?
