--- Comment #11 from Daniel Vrátil <dvratil at redhat.com> ---
The "The file is too large" error is not from the database, but is returned by
the system when we try to save content of the item on disk.

Because a new file is being created (O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC), I doubt that
the problem is the actual size of the file. Instead the problem could be in the
size of the directory, or rather in the amount of files in the directory. Some
filesystems have a limit on maximum amount of files in a directory, in your
case this can be either a limitation of NFS or the underlaying file system. 

I'd be interested in seeing output from ls -1
~/.local/share/akonadi/file_db_data | wc -l

I still agree with what Christian said: NFS is currently not a supported use
case at the moment (which can change in the future, however). People were
successful running Akonadi on NFS (using either SQLite or external DB server),
but the access to external payloads will still be slow.
