Hey FreeBSD community, Firstly - Whats the difference between freebsd-questions and freebsd-newbies? Just the level of detail / questions asked? Let me know if I should be posting somewhere besides this list.
Ok, so I've been transferring large tar files (60gig+) to a nfs mount (both client and server are on the same LAN and both FreeBSD). Every so often the transfer halts. My NIC is using the `vr` driver so changed to a Intel card using the fxp driver - I'm told this is much more reliable. anyway... Since I'm spending so much time babying this NFS mount, I'd like to tweak it the best I can for fast, reliable read/write access. I googled and found a suggestion of: mount -t nfs -o -r=32768,-w=32768 bigbang:/backup/ad4m1a/tic /backup Can someone tell me if the -r,-w values are sane? Also - assuming those values are correct and make things reliably faster, how would I A). Check to see that these arguments are in action and B). add them to my /etc/fstab? I've assumed the following: bigbang:/backup/ad4m1a/tic /backup nfs rw,-r=32768,-w=32768 0 0 Is this correct? Any NFS experts care to share there knowledge on how to tweak NFS to a solid, fast state. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
