- An email discussion with "Speedy" did shed some light. If you are
- having problems with the NFS server, please make sure that you use the
- options "rsize=1024,wsize=1024" on the client side (or equivalent).
-
- Linux TCP/IP does not work with the large UDP packet sizes that Sun NFS
- likes to use (e.g. 8k).
