The options I know of, are on Microsoft Technet [1], no -r option. Only read and write buffer size, time out, retry, soft or hard mount and some file access and encoding options. The netdrive properties of H: as mounted above give me: read and write buffer size 32768 bytes (max), time out 0.8, retry 1, soft mount and NFS3. I tried with many different read and write sizes but no real improvements. > Is your NFS mount a TCP mount? Client was set to UDP, but I also tested it with TCP and TCP+UDP.

Try various (NFS) mount options. nfsd(8) on openbsd only has 4 options. In sysctl you only can set vfs.nfs.iothreads to max 20. And I don't know which other sysctl variables also affects nfsd. On windows side there is the read/write buffer which defaults to its max. And TCP/UDP, where UDP seems better. > Jan > > > BTW, > > (1) why are you poluting a standardized directory like /usr/src > with something like /usr/src/media, serving videos? I had to recompile the kernel, and my 2G system drive is slow and loud. So I changed the mount point of my softraid from /media to /usr/src and made a media folder for my video files. Simply a workaround for silent and proper compiling and testing your patch. > (2) why are you "exporting" /home/phancy/www to /var/www/htdocs, > on your 2G wd0 disk? Want to stay on current, but also everytime a clean install. So all my data lives in my home directory (backup simpler) also my webpage, which is exported with nfs to the 'right' htdocs directory. With a simple backup script, an install.site, rc.firsttime and siteXX.tgz, staying on current feels like just a long reboot. Thanks for your help! Best, Sebastian.
