Subject: excessive nfsd cpu consumption - almost a DOS...

A user here did something like

<start loop>
open file (on the nfs server)
write something small
close file
<end loop>

This made the 8 threads of nfsd eat almost all cpu on the server. I
changed the nice of the threads to 19 and this improved matters
somewhat but not enough.

Is there a way to limit nfsd cpu?
