I've heard from some 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.
