Transfer of larger Files (approx 6 MB) was horribly slow until I reduced the wsize/rsize of the Clients to 4096. (With a HP-UX 11.11 Client it worked up to 8192). Are such adjustments of the mount-options common work for NFS-Admins? I'm not very experienced concerning NFS and I remember that HP had "NFS/NIS Patches" for 10.20 nearly every 3 Month. But honestly: Is this more a problem of the client or more a problem of the server? Don't misunderstand me - I really don't want to blame FreeBSD, these server(s) are my first FreeBSD-Servers in production use at work - I personally am working with FreeBSD since Version 2.0 and I'm really convinced. But you know the managers: They know Bill Gates, eventually they know Linux but "what the hell is FreeBSD!!??" :-) So everybody is quite sensitive in the moment... -- Ciao/BSD - Matthias Matthias Schuendehuette , Berlin (Germany) PGP-Key at and ID: 0xDDFB0A5F
