So rsize=1048576 is going to increase efficiency for large files, but what's the advantage for using TCP instead of UDP? Presumably NFS already has an error correcting layer on top of UDP. And when it comes to performance, usually UDP is superior, which is why it gets used in most real-time protocols. How about mounting it read-only? Just good security practice if read-write isn't needed, or does that gain you some performance as well? -Tom -- Tom Metro The Perl Shop, Newton, MA, USA "Predictable On-demand Perl Consulting." http://www.theperlshop.com/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
