What's why we have "set zfs:zfs_nocacheflush = 1" in /etc/system. But,
that's only helps ZFS. Is there something similar for NFS?
NFS's semantics for open() and friends is that they are synchronous,
whereas POSIX's semantics are that they are not. You're paying for a
sync() after every open.
nocto?
