NFS rsize and wsize should not depend on a machine's page size. Otherwise you cannot have such entries in /etc/fstab, instead an Administrator has to rely on /usr/bin/pagesize, /bin/bc and manual mount script just to pass the rsize+wsize in a portable manner. 100% not compatible to puppet and common cluster software, and even less portable for people using nfsroot.
