It's been a while since I've done this, but I think you can tune this with vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs and vm.dirty_background_ratio sysctls. The data will still go through the page cache but you can reduce the amount that stacks up. There are other places where the data can get buffered, like the rpc layer, but it won't sit there any longer than it takes for it to go out the wire. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
