Hey Chuck,

Thanks for the (very) fast reply! :-)

This can be confusing for downstream users, who don't know what messages
like "fragment too large: 1195725856" actually mean, or that they
indicate some misconfigured infrastructure elsewhere.

One wonders whether that error message is actually useful at all.
We could, for example, turn this into a tracepoint, or just get
rid of it.

Indeed, that's also a good outcome. Personally I've never seen these legitimately fire in production outside of cases like the one described, and we historically ran a pretty diverse set of use cases for NFS.

Maybe safer to convert to a tracepoint just in case? Either way sounds fine though -- let me know what you'd like for v2 and I'll send it over. :-)

Thanks!

Chris
