Ok.

For NFSv3, is there a specified way to handle create or mkdir ops where
  the size is non-zero? The reason this came up is that I was testing
unfs3 with SpecSFS2k8 and an MKDIR op failed in unfs3 because SFS sent
the mkdir call with non-zero size in the attributes. I just wanted to
see how Linux nfsd handled it.
