Hello,

I need some help fine tuning some NFS clients.

The server is a blackbox (an EMC Celerra which we don't administer, we
can't touch it, we can only give some hints and pray) the clients are
Linux boxes with kernel >= 2.4.18.

This system will be used, exclusivelly, as a webmail system with maildir
format "mailboxes". That means lots (ithousands to millions) of small
iles (<=30Kb) and tons of accesses to that same files. Access will be
made via an IMAP server, a POP server and a SMTP server.

I have the option of choosing between NFSv2/v3 and TCP/UDP and the
freedom to fully configure/reconfigure the client boxes. Any thoughs on
what I might tweak and look for? Any experiences on this?

TIA.
