-Known Issues
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-OFA Bug 2482 - NFSRDMA fails to mind the rdma device's max page
-list length.  For cxgb4 devices, this can cause a hw crash requiring
-a system reboot. The workaround is to mount using mount options:
-wsize=65536,rsize=65536. EG:
-
-mount hpc-cn2:/share /mnt -o rdma,vers=3,port=20049,wsize=65536,rsize=65536
-
-If you're running NFSRDMA over Chelsio's T3 RNIC and your cients are using
-a 64KB page size (like PPC64 and IA64 systems) and your server is using a
-4KB page size (like i386 and X86_64), then you need to mount the server
-using rsize=32768,wsize=32768 to avoid overrunning the Chelsio RNIC fast
-register limits.  This is a known firmware limitation in the Chelsio RNIC.
-
-Running NFSRDMA over Mellanox's ConnectX HCA requires that the adapter firmware
-be 2.7.0 or greater on all NFS clients and servers.  Firmware 2.6.0 has known
-issues that prevent the RDMA connection from being established.  Firmware 2.7.0
-has resolved these issues.
-
-IPv6 support requires portmap that supports version 4. Portmap included in RHEL5
-and SLES10 only supports version 2.  Without version 4 support, the following
-error will be logged:
-       svc: failed to register lockdv1 (errno 97).
-This error will not affect IPv4 support.
