SYMPTOMS
When you configure the write buffer settings when you are using the NFS client in Services for UNIX (SFU) version 2, the buffer settings do not take effect if you connect by using Universal Naming Convention (UNC) names. The NFS client ignores the rsize and wsize settings if UNC path names are supplied. However, if the share is mounted, the settings are recognized
