You don't need infiniband for this. With ethernet it doesn't hang (that's another bug, for RDMA people, in the othter thread) but the file is still 1.9GB, i.e. larger than the device. Look, after running the test over ethernet, at server side: # ll -h /mnt/ram total 1.5G drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 21 2010-12-02 12:54 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K 2010-11-29 23:51 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.9G 2010-12-02 15:04 zerofile # mount rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) none on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) none on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) none on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) /dev/ram0 on /mnt/ram type xfs (rw) # blockdev --getsize64 /dev/ram0 1610612736 # dd if=/mnt/ram/zerofile | wc -c 1985937408 3878784+0 records in 3878784+0 records out 1985937408 bytes (2.0 GB) copied, 6.57081 s, 302 MB/s Feel free to forward to NFS mailing list also if you think it's appropriate.
