I've managed to boost my NFS performance to around 1.7MB/s (much more and the CPU on my NFS server starts maxing out) by using the NFS kernel server, rebuilding the kernel on my server & clients for NFS v3. On the server, I export directories with async on the server /home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) and mount this directory with rsize and wsize at 8k, to stream the data iin 8k blocks seagoon:/home /home nfs defaults,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 hope this helps. -- Stephen Patterson http://www.lexx.uklinux.net http://patter.mine.nu [EMAIL PROTECTED] remove SPAM to reply Linux Counter No: 142831 GPG Public key: 252B8B37 Last one down the pub's an MCSE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
