To use a NFS-root for UDP jumbo frames the kernel on the client need to bring up interface with MTU set to 9000 bytes - otherwise it cannot contact server with jumbo frames enabled (nfs server not responding, still trying) and cannot boot. Added a kernel parameter named 'ipmtu' which can be used to specify initial MTU size when booting via nfsroot.
Isn't the whole IP autoconfig and NFS root set to die? Why not do it in initramfs? -- Krzysztof Halasa
