But, too late to do anything about that, I guess. I'm surprised at how ineffective I was at finding & understanding the whole business to begin with. If not for Trond's comments and stumbling on that reference re: NFS sync/async issues on "not-my-distro", I'd still be thrashing around. A bunch of other people responding on the issue weren't clear about, or aware of, the issue. At least not that I was hearing. Entirely possible that I was asking the wrong question the wrong way, so I'll take my share of it. Just looking at the decade+ of "my NFS is slow. why?" posts & comments I found & read, having this async/sync biz documented & easy to find for normal humans might be helpful. If it's there I sure as heck missed it. My two cents. Thanks again!
