Hi All,

I am mounting NFS from a Sun (Oracle) x4540 using the following options:
plumper.ansto.gov.au:/cesspool/home        /home   nfs
defaults,bg,intr,hard,noacl     0 0
(Have played with noac as well etc.)

1)
Is there better options I should use to obtain better performance? (e.g.
noac will but I would the server to commit to disk and flash should help
my speed there)

2)
Is there a package (preferably within Scientific Linux Packages - if not
easily compilable) to do benchmarks on a mounted NFS filesystem?
Possibly print out latency and IOPs? I ask as I am about to add a F20e
flash card to my server and want to see the difference in performance I
can get with the Flash card and no flash card.

Ta,
----
