+.It Cm noncontigwr
+This mount option allows the NFS client to
+combine non-contiguous byte ranges being written
+such that the dirty byte range becomes a superset of the bytes
+that are dirty.
+This reduces the number of writes significantly for software
+builds.
+The merging of byte ranges isn't done if the file has been file
+locked, since most applications modifying a file from multiple
+clients will use file locking.
+As such, this option could result in a corrupted file for the
+rare case of an application modifying the file from multiple
+clients concurrently without using file locking.
