I'm using defaults currently. But shouldn't this be sufficient to see considerably better transfer time than I posted? I'm thinking not to introduce more variables by changing this just yet, until I establish whether other network probs are responsible ## NFS example: ## 192.168.0.17:/home /path nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr exp:/ /EXP_root nfs defaults 0 0 exp:/home /EXP_home nfs defaults 0 0 exp:/var /EXP_var nfs defaults 0 0 exp:/mnt/exp /EXP_mnt_exp nfs defaults 0 0 exp:/usr /EXP_usr nfs defaults 0 0 exp:/tmp /EXP_tmp nfs defaults 0 0
