Hi,
As long as I keep vfs.nfsrv.async=0, I can create large files no problem

[ns4-new]# time dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/testfile2 bs=1024k count=300
300+0 records in
300+0 records out
314572800 bytes transferred in 84.672246 secs (3715182 bytes/sec)
0.000u 0.675s 1:24.75 0.7%      23+2579k 0+38400io 0pf+0w
[ns4-new]#

Then, changing the file slightly,

[ns4-new]# time dd if=/mnt/testfile2 of=/dev/null bs=1024k
300+1 records in
300+1 records out
314573050 bytes transferred in 7.251998 secs (43377431 bytes/sec)
0.000u 0.522s 0:07.30 7.1%      28+2877k 0+0io 0pf+0w
[ns4-new]#

I can also run iozone on the nfs mount, but not with async=1
