rpc.nfsd threads, how do i change them?
I've been investigating some nfs retransmits on a cluster of machines that i've got running, and i found a related article that suggests upping the rcp.nfsd threads. The article was based on linux though, and not BSD, so it offered no help other than the theory.
Is there a way to modify this setting on FreeBSD? All machines involved are running FreeBSD 6.2. Thanks! |

When in doubt, head to the man pages.
$ man -k nfs is a good place to start. It lists (amongst other things) nfsd(8). Reading that man pages shows the -n option. As system services are started by rc.conf(5), and /etc/defaults/rc.conf lists pretty much everything that one can use, a quick grep for nfsd gives Code:
nfs_server_flags="-u -t -n 4" # Flags to nfsd (if enabled). |

I actually had come across that -n option, and we gave it a shot. We tried increasing it to 10, as a start, and it actually made the nfs server unavailable after an nfs restart. Once we realized it wasnt working, we quickly changed it back, as this is a production environment.
Not really sure what happened to make it fail... We're in the process of building a failover nfs server. Once we get that running, we'll continue our testing on that machine. Thanks! |
