Hello, I'm presenting NFS shares to some FreeBSD VM guests with the following mount options (from my /etc/fstab): nfsserverip:mymount /mountdir nfs rw,tcp,intr,noatime,nfsv3,-w=32768,-r=32768 0 0 This seems to work well, except I have to manually load MySQL, Apache, and Postfix at boot time, as my /usr/local directory is hosted on my NFS share on this test server (these start up normally when /usr/local resides on a local hard drive). Is it generally a bad idea to host a share like this on NFS? I'm thinking that it probably is and am happy to serve this locally if this would be better. However, if this is not a red flag and there is a way to get these services to start up on their own at boot, could you please let me know? How about the wsize and rsize numbers? I was unable to find any resources for determining what these numbers best be set as for FreeBSD as a VM guest. Any pointers?
