Is there a reason as to why the nfsd server does not use splice in the write calls - nfsd_vfs_write() ? Is there some structural limitation or is it just something nobody got around to implementing ? I have looked at the source back to the 2.6.x kernels and it seems only nfsd_vfs_read() has ever used splice/sendfile. http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.9.5/fs/nfsd/vfs.c TIA -Sandeep -- 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
