Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Spent quite a bit of time today playing around with the newly repaired readdirplus option for nfs clients in -current. My thanks to Matt Dillon and Bill Paul. For those that don't remember, I'm trying to use amd/nfs client stuff on some freebsd web servers that read their data from our sun (and now sun + netapp) web farm. I have a script that used to lock up amd and/or nfs and/or the whole machine pretty regularly. I've run it about 100 times today in various conditions with no ill effects. About this I am quite pleased. :) Since I'm new to nfs, and wasn't aware of the readdirplus option, it dawns on me that there might be other cool things I'm not using that also might be a benefit. I'm using amd for now, although this might be replaced with plain old hard mounts at some time in the near future. The following options I've cobbled together from advice on the lists, my reading of the man pages and other documentation, and a lot of experimentation. Any comments or suggestions for improvements would be welcome.
