Topic: NFS mount

[Stephane]

Hi,

Ok, let's speech 'french-like' english....

I have a SME 6.0b3 server and gateway and a big NAS (600gb).
There are about 100 users who need lot of space each.
So i've mounted the big NAS volume to /home/e-smith/files/
It seems to work fine, but...

It takes about 15 minutes to mount, manually (nothing mount at boot time)...
Here is the line i add in /etc/fstab :
Armoire:/home           /home/e-smith/files     nfs _netdev,noatime,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nosuid,hard,intr  0 0

Also, transfering data is very slow. It seems to take a lot of time to react...

And finally, i would like to turn off quota management as i notice that system
tries to check it even if there are no quotas for users.

If anyone understand that, how can i solve these problems ?
Thanks.

Stephane.

It is hard to tell, however, a couple of issues can arrise from:

Do you have virus checking 'realtime' on files.
The wsize and rsize can be upped to 8192 it might help
Are you sure that your DNS is working as it should, try the ip address instead of your name, Armoire.

when you say (nothing to mount at boot time)... it should be booting unless you have noauto. Do you want it to boot at boot time?
You should not have to manually mount, unless you want to.
