Can I make a CD across an NFS mount?
TAMS CDR FAQYes, but there is no guarantee it will always work. There are no restrictions in the software which limit where the source data is located. However, CD-R requires a continuous stream of data as it is writing, and a busy network could interfere with performance. Also remember, the greater the recording speed the greater the sustained data transfer rate the drive requires. It is easy to test using a Dummy Write. Slow down the write speed and increase the buffer size.

E4. Why do I get NFS timeouts when I mount a Linux NFS server from my Solaris NFS client?
Linux NFS faqYou get NFS timeouts because you are using soft mounts. Normally, mounts are hard, which requires the client to continue attempts to reach the server forever. A soft mount allows the client to stop trying an operation after a period of time. A soft timeout may cause silent data corruption if it occurs during data or metadata transmissions, so you should only use soft mounts in the cases where client responsiveness is more important than data integrity.
B8. Why won't my client let me use rsize or wsize larger than 8KB when I mount my Linux NFS server?
Linux NFS faqNFS Version 2 supports up to 8KB reads and writes. NFS Version 3 allows larger reads and writes (see question A1). Stock 2.4 kernels earlier than 2.4.20 do not support read or write operations larger than 8192 bytes for either NFS Version 2 or 3. Server-side TCP support, introduced as an experimental compile-time option in 2.4.20, increases the server's maximum I/O size to 32KB by increasing the value of NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE (see question B2).
Why does NFS mount from UML virtual machines not work correctly to a remote system?
