<br>Hi,<br><br>I have a master with a harddisk, and 8 diskless clients, configured as<br>a cluster on a internal network.<br><br>These diskless clients mount their root, /home, /usr and /opt directories<br>over nfs from the master.<br><br>When I do a "netstat -a | grep nfs" on each client, I see that each<br>client has three ESTABLISHED tcp connections for nfs:<br><br>tcp 0 0 client1:797 master:nfs ESTABLISHED <br>tcp 0 0 client1:798 master:nfs ESTABLISHED <br>tcp 0 0 client1:795 master:nfs ESTABLISHED <br><br><br>Hence, that sums up to 8 clients times three is 24 connections altogether.<br>Is it then
better to also have 24 nfsd daemons running on the master?<br>At the moment I have only 8 nfsd daemons on the master (the default).<br><br>I wonder what is the 'formula' to improve performance with nfs<br>on the master side.<br><br>Thank you,<br>Rob.<br><br><p>
