hw to increse nfs perfomence tuning?
making nfs faster?
increase nfsd
ps -ef | grep nfsd
usually default is only abt 16 threads, if you have a lot of resources can try go for 32, 64, 128, 256 etc... usually I stop at 128 is sufficient
why?
because tuning is not a magic bullet, tuning is abt increasing resources in one area while decreasing and taking it from elsewhere.
vi /etc/rc3.d/S15nfsserver(search for nfsd)
increasing nfsd usually to make it perform better as in able to handle more request not necessary faster, how fast it will be will depend largely on your network.
on the clients you may also look at options like rsize, wsize and directio (for certain applications) on the client side
check the man pages.
