Yes, but only as a client at the moment.

If I have time (my) tomorrow I'll have a look at testing it.  But, could you 
define
what you mean by "big source tar" and "single large file"? 

In particular the "tar" procedure.  I'm not sure if you have an nfs mounted file
system and you are creating a tar from data on that file system, which would 
need to
be read and then compressed locally and written back to the nfs mounted file 
system. 
So, I just want to get the data flow to match.

And what is the size of the single large file and are you doing a copy from a 
local
file system to the nfs partition?
