Skjei" To: freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Bettering NFS Performance Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, I'm looking for tips on how to increase the performance on a FreeBSD host dedicated entirely to providing NFS services. More specifically, this box runs FreeBSD 2.2.6-Beta, has a Pentium II (233 Mhz) cpu, two 9 Gb scsi drives, 128 Mb of RAM, and an Intel EtherExpress Pro/100+ PCI network card. For the most part, the cpu is idle, and I want to configure it to make full use of all its unused resources. I imagine this will entail making some changes to its cache size, the number of nfsd daemons, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, TOm SKjei To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
