>Description:
	A 1.6 NFS client writing to a NFS server doesn't notice when the
	remote file system is full, loosing data. I don't think the server
	(also running 1.6) is in cause because it works as expected with
	1.5.3 or linux clients.

	note that the dd process didn't get any error for the writes,
	and claim to have written 100M when there is only 60M really
	written to disk. On the server side a
	borneo /netbsd: uid 373 comm nfsd on /usr: file system full
	proves that the server noticed the problem
>Fix:
	unknown.
