List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net We are in the process of configuring a Linux nfs server. The hardware platform is a Dell Poweredge 2850, dual Xeon 3.6Ghz, 6GB memory running RHEL 4 update 2. The number of clients using the server will be ~1000 x86_64 dual processor opteron workstations. The data that will be accessed will be 95% read only, possible more like 99% read only, that will consist of mainly executables, i.e. not large multi-gigabyte data files. I am trying to gather evidence that the Linux nfs server should be able/not able to handle the workload. I would really appreciate it if anyone with large installations would post what they have and average nfsopts for their nfs servers. We will not be using a server farm, so I am interested in nfsopts per server. Thanks Wayne ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
