I disagree.. Buffering is probably going to help - even just a little. > One thing I failed to mention, none of the clients ever write; the system > is completely read only. Ahh.. well you can throw any type of 'real' locking away and tell samba to fake it all I guess. You should also look at the acregmin/acregmax/acdirmin/acdirmax options - if the store is static then you could probably increase them quite a lot which would reduce NFS traffic. Also don't forget to run nfsiod. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
