Linux NFSv4.1 client with Linux NFSv4.1 server, getting block size of exported filesystem?

Linux NFSv4.1 client with Linux NFSv4.1 server, getting block size of exported filesystem?

[Cedric Blancher]

Good evening!

Assuming a Linux 6.6 NFSv4.1 client and a Linux 6.6 NFSv4.1 server,
can the NFSv4.1 client obtain the exact block size of the exported
filesystem (e.g. ReiserFS, btrfs, ext4, ...) via fstatat()/stat()?

Hi Ced,

no, it can not. However, spec defines two attributes,  maxread and maxwrite, that can indicate
client preferred IO request sizes:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5661#section-5.8.2.20

In pNFS case, an additional layout-specific option, that can override those values.

Best regards,
   Tigran.
