I'll be using a pentium pro 180 machine with a SCSI adapter to do the job with a 100Mbs network card (SMC 9332). Is this a feasible task: a freebsd server serving this number of clients ? Is it ok to use a mixture of nfs ver 2 and ver 3 on the fbsd server? Is there any special options (read size/write size) that I should specify to be able to get optimal performance ? Thanks for the reply Samy
