:I'm nothing like an NFS expert, so I may be talking through my hat,
:but... I presume NFS correctly supports O_APPEND semantics for
:multiple clients (as seen from the server). In this case, the
:optimization only works when there's only one client machine (though
:possibly multiple processes on that machine) is using write+O_APPEND.

I don't this was ever supported or ever will be in the multiple-client
case. Maybe eventually with the leasing stuff. Otherwise, no way. The
stateless nature of NFS makes it virtually impossible.
