I have an NFS hookup but my write from the WFW to FreeBSD is only ~ 62 kB/sec whereas the read is ~ 300 kB/sec. I am using generic ~$25 Ethernet cards on either side. My throughput using FTP averages about ~ 450 kB/sec so I know there's plenty of bandwidth available. I am won- dering how I can tweak the NFS to maximize throughput. Do I need to rebuild the kernel with different configuration constants ??? Anybody with experience and willing to share please EMAIL, thanks. -- Chris Haidinyak chrish@alpha.techspecs.com
