I wonder how it performs against an NFS server with lots of files, especially one over a kinda-crappy connection. Putting an unreliable network service behind blocking POSIX syscalls is one of the main reasons NFS is a terrible design choice (as can be seen by anyone who's tried to ctrl+c any app that's reading from a broken NFS folder), but I wonder if io_uring mitigates the bad parts somewhat.

I run several machines at home with NFS $HOME and I usually don't notice. I'd say with a good network and as long as you're not stress-testing difficult cases like parallel writes to the same data from multiple machines, the average usability of NFS is actually very good.

I did have a hell of a difficult time once with intermittent failures from a poorly seated network cable.
