However I've got some questions about tuning NFS. I only need to mount one remote NFS partition on this machine, so I've change nfsiod to -n 1 in /etc/rc. I've looked at all the man pages and docs and near as I can tell I need 1 nfsiod for each NFS mount I have. Is that right, or am I losing performance? The next question is how do I use nfsstat to determine if my system is tuned optimally or whether I should change some parameters? The man page isn't too helpful here since it doesn't explain what's displayed. I promise I'll write up something on this for the FreeBSD handbook in return for any help I get. The NFS documentation there is rather weak. :-) Raju -- Raju M.
