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!
