We lately discovered more traffic to our sites and therefor mor use of the nfsd processes. That meens, 20 nfsd's aren't enough anymore ! On my spare system I compiled a new kernel with MAXASYNCNFSD (or so ..) = 256 and patched /sbin/nfsd to accept this. Are there any drawbacks from this ? Thx in advance. Cheers, Stefan Sonnenberg-Carstens
