If you are not running any nfsiod's I should have mentioned, I have 20 nfsiod's running. I started so many initially to help in the stress testing I was doing, but I left them running because the servers are handling from 2-4 requests per second and we have lots of ram in the boxes. Is there a way to figure out how many are getting used concurrently, or is too many not a problem?
