"Set the read data size to the specified value. It should nor- mally be a power of 2 greater than or equal to 1024. This should be used for UDP mounts when the ``fragments dropped due to timeout'' value is getting large while actively using a mountpoint." and "Set the write data size to the specified value. Ditto the comments w.r.t. the -r option, but using the ``fragments dropped due to timeout'' value on the server instead of the client. Note that both the -r and -w options should only be used as a last ditch effort at improving performance when mounting servers that do not support TCP mounts." -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor@inoc.net http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/ Mac OS X.
