I read the source code of orangefs-2.8.3-EXP recently , when I read the source 
code in pvfs2-touch.c , I found that the main function of pvfs2-touch.c will 
call the "PVFS_util_init_defaults" functions to initialize the pvfs2 server 
each time we create a file .  And the "PVFS_util_init_defaults" then call the 
"fs-add.sm" , In the fs-add.sm ,I found that the client will send Message to 
the server to get the server configuration, and then set the buffer size 
according to configuration file.
        So I want to know that why we must set the buffer size each time we 
create a file ? In my opinion , this information ,like setting the tcp buffer 
size , will be set at the process of establish the connection in general file 
systems.
        So I want to know that whether we should set the buffer size every time 
we create a file or not ? If so, I want to know why we must set the buffer size 
every time ? 
        Thank you very much.
