If a filesystem being written to via NFS returns a short write count
(as opposed to an error) to nfsd, nfsd treats that as a success for
the entire write, rather than the short count that actually succeeded.
For example, given a 8192 byte write, if the underlying filesystem
only writes 4096 bytes, nfsd will ack back to the nfs client that all
8192 bytes were written. The nfs client does have retry logic for
short writes, but this is never called as the client is told the
complete write succeeded.
There are probably other ways it could happen, but in my case it
happened with a fuse (filesystem in userspace) filesystem which can
rather easily have a partial write.
Here is a patch to properly return the short write count to the
client.
