We are having some NFS performance problems. We now have some machines located in different buildings with a couple of routers in between them. There's not much traffic and I know the net is working fine since FTP fly real fast. However, we very often get NFS timeouts. This is especially true with large files (e.g. executing emacs when the binary sits on the remote server). I've tried changing the packet size via the mount entry in the /etc/fstab file. I'm using the following options: rsize=512,wsize=512,timeo=100 The performance is still bad, but a bit better. Is there more I can do? Or, should these numbers be adjusted even further?
