So far only a handfull of clients are expected. I am going to start at 10. 
:-)

Other than "killall -9 nfsd" is there any other way to restart nfsd?


On another thread you mentioned the rsize and wsize and that they should 
go in the fstab at the client. I got the parameters to work based on a doc 
on the web, but was wondering about size. 32K a good parameter for an 
IMAP machine?

The setup will be a mail storage server with 3 to 5 machines running 
Courier IMAP and connecting to a shared mail folder over NFS.

Thanks for all your feedback.
