Man fstab & man nfs{d} & man mount and search for sync write options. Wsize
and rsize=8192 and wsize=8192 might work but I think they are deprecated.
Althought, async or sync might still be used. Use these options when mouting
your nfs share or make them permanent in your fstab file. Gentoo-wiki has a
good guide on this. I would have given you a good set of options but I'm not
able to access the inet.
