I've heard from some (via google searchs) that there are issues with
NFS + SMP when using the 2.6 kernel.  Assuming I'm using 2.6.11.5 w/
the NFS-ALL patches applied should I be concerned about running SMP
(dual cpu pentium 4 doing pretty much only NFSv3 TCP, but looking
toward NFSv4)?

Assuming it's ok to use SMP on a heavy use NFS server, should I enable
or disable hyperthreading?  I'd assume that for NFS hyperthreading
would be good, but that's only a guess.

Thanks,

   Chris
