Well, i guess the cache uses a value of 256 sectors to do read-ahead and
such.

Well it sounds like the real problem here is the vm_max_readahead
setting then. Try this:

I will try it, although i think that i'm using the deafult values.

Anyway: the NBD module should set the max_sectors to a certain value - i chose 256 sectors. Perhaps Pavel or Paul may decide to use a higher ot smaller value. A limit should be part of the protocol or handshaked when connecting to the server (what is not possible without changing the protocol)
