[wplug] NFS Server Tuning

[Matthew T. Engel]

Hello everyone....

I'm having some NFS server issues.  My NFS Server is a P4, 1.8GHz (only
1 processor), 1 GB RAM, RH FC .  I am trying to mount/share a directory
to 40 lab workstations of similiar platforms.  

The problem is that I can't mount the share to all 40 client (lab
workstations).  I read an article online about NFS Server tuning that
mentioned increasing the number of nfsd processes. I tried this,
increasing from 8 - 10 (article recommended 8 per processor), and had
some success.

My question: How can I tune the server to all clients can mount share,
or any suggestions to other problems I might have?  Or if this is not
possible, how can I figure out how many clients I can share per NFS
share.

Thank you very much in advance....
