Just don't enable it in /etc/rc.conf You may have it in kernel. i did, now i don't. both works. > What does your export file look like on both the host:server and > remote:client sides. as described in manual of unfsd. basics are same, details are not. > > Then about unfs3 performance; how many concurrent remote:clients do you > service? Doe's access elapse time get longer as more concurrent over 60 but not high load clients so performance doesn't matter. That's X terminals booting over NFS. Sometimes i do more - example is net-booting windoze PC to be able to do some recovery OR backup large amount of data to server. There is no practical performance difference in that settings. BUT - do make configure, then search where fsync is called and comment it out. Right - not conformant, but the performance difference on writes are enormous. Unless you do such a stupid things like running database servers over NFS, you don't need this conformance. Just do it. > Do you run unfs3 in a jail on both the host:server and remote:client sides? Not now. but tried. unfs doesn't need ANY special kernel calls. It runs just like any program using UDP/TCP communication. jail/no jail doesn't make a difference. As with most programs. In kernel point of view it is just a program that use TCP/IP stack and open/read/write/readdir/etc. Nothing else. > Are there any sysctl nob settings needed to make unfs3 run in a jail? as above.
