Re: fstab NFS mount option recommendations

2010-03-13 Thread Joe Auty
Forgot to add,

I also need to do some NFS mounts from my VM host which is hosted on
CentOS. I know that this isn't a Linux based list, but if you could
kindly keep the information about wsize and rsize numbers general enough
so that I can apply this knowledge to my Linux box, that would be great :)

A lot of online resources I've come across suggest using various
numbers, but I don't really understand how these number are derived or
if they are even necessary at all...

 Hello,

 I'm presenting NFS shares to some FreeBSD VM guests with the following
 mount options (from my /etc/fstab):

 nfsserverip:mymount /mountdir  nfs 
 rw,tcp,intr,noatime,nfsv3,-w=32768,-r=32768 0 0


 This seems to work well, except I have to manually load MySQL, Apache,
 and Postfix at boot time, as my /usr/local directory is hosted on my
 NFS share on this test server (these start up normally when /usr/local
 resides on a local hard drive). Is it generally a bad idea to host a
 share like this on NFS? I'm thinking that it probably is and am happy
 to serve this locally if this would be better. However, if this is not
 a red flag and there is a way to get these services to start up on
 their own at boot, could you please let me know?

 How about the wsize and rsize numbers? I was unable to find any
 resources for determining what these numbers best be set as for
 FreeBSD as a VM guest. Any pointers?




 Thanks in advance for your help!
