Hi All,

I've finally upgraded our FreeBSD router to 2.1 and things went real smooth.
However I've got some questions about tuning NFS.  I only need to mount
one remote NFS partition on this machine, so I've change nfsiod to -n 1
in /etc/rc.  I've looked at all the man pages and docs and near as I
can tell I need 1 nfsiod for each NFS mount I have.  Is that right,
or am I losing performance?

The next question is how do I use nfsstat to determine if my system is
tuned optimally or whether I should change some parameters?  The man page
isn't too helpful here since it doesn't explain what's displayed.

I promise I'll write up something on this for the FreeBSD handbook in
return for any help I get.  The NFS documentation there is rather weak. :-)  

Raju
