Isn't it true that now that systems such as UTS, Unicos, etc. have the
ability to have LOCAL files >4MB, NFS files are a problem. For instance,
it is feasible (I believe) to have a file which is, let's say, 15GB
(easily on a 12 wide stripe of 1.5 GB disks). Anyway, isn't it true that
NFS will not support reading past a certain byte of said file??
