Hi,
I am using FreeBSD 2.1 and am connected to another PC using Microsoft
Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. 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.
