Re: NFS write() calls lead to read() calls?

If you have python installed, this is a simple way:

----
print "writing"
f = file("a_file", "w")
for x in xrange(1024): # write 1024 MB
     f.write(' '*1024*1024)
f.close()

raw_input("press enter to rewrite")

print "rewriting"
f = file("a_file", "r+")
for x in xrange(1024): # write 1024 MB again
     f.write(' '*1024*1024)
f.close()
----

save it to a file, run the file with python interpreter. If you don't 
observe the weird read-before-write effect, then it's not a problem in 
FreeBSD / NFS.
