That's a good point.  In (truly, really) modern kernels, the best 
approach is to not even specify rsize/wsize and instead let the NFS 
client and server autonegotiate it.  Current 0.21-fixes and above 
(Storage-Groups-filesystem-equality testing) actually supports even huge 
ones, so just make sure you're up-to-date with Myth if you do this.

I've taken the rsize/wsize stuff out of the wiki for now, as users are 
probably better off not setting it, anymore.  (Even those with kernels 
that use defaults rather than autonegotiating will probably use better 
values than 8192.)  We'll get the HOWTO updated, too--probably 
with/shortly after the 0.22 release.

Thanks for the input.
