[Bug 561210] Re: Writing big files to NFS target causes system lock up

[Christoph Lechleitner]

My Desktop also did freeze for those 120 seconds.
I use a Gnome but there are KDE based widgets running, namely klipper.

Ac. buffer size: Larger write buffers (backed by enough RAM) defer or eventually avoid the point at which the buffer runs full.
I think we agree that's when the freeze occurs.

Does the kernel allow some kind of temporary "overbooking" for wirite
buffers, like it does for RAM?
