You will probably need to increase the NFS client side blocksize as well. This is nfs[34]_bsize. So, something like: set nfs:nfs3_bsize=1048576 set nfs:nfs4_bsize=1048576 although, you will probably want it to match your rsize/wsize settings. Please be aware that the if the block size is bigger than the transfer size, then the Solaris NFS client will do break up the block sized transfers into multiple pieces and then do them sequentially. So, there is a tie between the read transfer size and the write transfer size, at least on a Solaris client.
