List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Using tcp instead of udp would fit better in your environment, because of your router in between. And the fact that you are mixing gigabit server and 100mb clients doesn't help. If it works ok good, but under load you may see packet loss and consequent resending. Translation: bad performance. But you would need to patch those RH 7.2 clients to get acceptable nfs over tcp. /Pedro On 19 Jul 2002 at 22:14, Christopher Penney wrote: > > Is there a preferred setup when using a Solaris 8 NFS server with only > RedHAt 7.2 clients?
