-Maximum amount of data that the kernel will send in a write request in bytes\&. Prior to kernel 3\&.0\&.0, the default and maximum was 57344 (14 * 4096 pages)\&. As of 3\&.0\&.0, the default is 1M, and the maximum allowed is 16M\&. Note that this value is just a starting point for negotiation in 3\&.0\&.0 and up\&. The client and server may negotiate this size downward according to the server's capabilities\&. In kernels prior to 3\&.0\&.0, no negotiation is performed\&. It can end up with an existing superblock if this value isn't specified or it's greater or equal than the existing one\&.
+Maximum amount of data that the kernel will send in a write request in bytes\&. Prior to kernel 3\&.0\&.0, the default and maximum was 57344 (14 * 4096 pages)\&. As of 3\&.0\&.0, the default depends on whether the client and server negotiate large writes via POSIX extensions. If they do, then the default is 1M, and the maximum allowed is 16M\&. If they do not, then the default is 65536 and the maximum allowed is 131007.
