[ale] Linux NFSv2 & >9000 MTU

[Neil C. Bright]

Anybody out there have experience with gigabit ethernet cards running with
jumbo frames (>9000 MTU).  I seem to be having problems talking NFS (as a
client) when I do such.

Pings (even large ones) go through, and some NFS traffic does as well.  Within
a short amount of time, it'll loose contact with the NFS server and processes
waiting on that I/O will get into a non-blockable wait.


stats:
  Intel Pro/1000 gigabit ethernet
  Cisco catalyst 6506
  redhat's 2.2.16-3 kernel
