9577.0. "AlphaServer NFS 3 data transfer prob?" by ALLVAX::STAATS (T is for Todd) Tue Apr 22 1997 13:15

    Hi I cross posted this to the NFS conference as well...
    
    A customer of ours asked the following questions - I'm not familar
    with NFS 3.0, but  Intergraph's new DiskAccess software (it's a 
    replacement for a PC-NFS client software which runs on Intel and
    Alpha NT systems) exhibits the following problem with an 
    Alphaserver 4000.
    
    Any help would be appreciated

My guess is the question has been garbled...I guess they are
asking do we support single operation write sizes larger than
8KB between client and server...

I think it is on our list the raise this in a future release.

I think they should be able to write at many MB/sec, depending
on their network ...
