Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I have some additional questions:

serving files from 500G RAID devices. I created a treed directory structure
with 300G of 32k files that approximates our "homedirectory" structure.
I had about 6 diskless front ends (tyan 2518 with

I recently did some research into NFS performance tuning and came across
the suggestion in an article on onlamp.com by Michael Lucas, that 32768
is a good value for the read and write buffers. His suggestion is these

I used these options (I found tcp was ma
