So it's a server side limitation.

Currently we will not use pNFS, because seems it's not production ready. The NFS client driver has been in a very bad shape when I started testing it against my new server, including crashed, lockups and lots of data corruption. This is why I ended up rewriting it entirely for Linux 3.18. I would not recommend to use the older one at all. -- 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
