I am considering re-arranging several servers (10) into a NFS cluster
where each server has very little local disk. All the home directories
and files would be moved onto a central NFS server. I think the benefit
would be easier management & backups.

Each server currently has between 9 and 18G of user disk space and 
iostat reports an average of 40 sectors per second of the user disks
with bursts up to 2000 sps.

Do you think that a FreeBSD NFS server can easily handle this amount 
of traffic?

Has any benchmarking been performed on the NFS implementation?

Thanks,

Joe
