One more oddity, the shared file system on the server is xfs formatted;
if I instead mount a reiserfs file system I can successfully write. This

Maybe the limit doesn't come from just NFS but a combination of NFS and the

Until last week, I was running a RH7.3(!) based NFS server with XFS and
regularly using large files.
To the OP, make sure you're using NFSv3 (at least).
