- We also have the same problem with three /usr clients of a 560 /usr server.
- NFS is so slow that it takes 5 min to launch an X server on the clients...
- And with automount, it is definitively out.
-
- I've got the proof that it isn't the server. A Sun client works fine.

- IBM answered :
- 1- "There is nothing about a NFS problem in our database. Shut up and go away."
- 2- (After tortuous discussions) "Try to modify some transmit and receive queue
- sizes under smit."
- Result : the /usr client booted no more.
-
- Fine. Isn't it ?
