I'm unable to reproduce this behaviour with a Debian 6.0 client (ARM,
because my openrd is the only client I can get to at the moment). That's
a 2.6.32-5-kirkwood kernel.

The server is FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #91 r241441 (amd64). I can't
easily compare to UFS, because the server is ZFS only.

I see network activity on the first read, but only very little (a single
getattr + reply in fact) on the second read.

Kristof
