However, I only get ~4MBps throughput to and NFSv3 mounted filesystem when amd makes the mount for me, but I get ~9MBps throughput when I mount the same filesystem by hand (i.e. without amd). The /defaults line in may amd.map file looks like: /defaults type:=nfs;opts:=rw,proto=udp,vers=3 My first guess at the reason would be that amd is mounting with very different default options than those built into mount_nfs but I'm having a lot of trouble narrowing down which of the myriad mount options are to blame here and (more importantly) which options amd is using as its defaults. Does anyone have any help to offer me on this one? Thanks again, Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
