I have a Linux box A running both the MythTV front- and backend. This box has some storage, but for my own DVDs I use another Linux box B with several rather large hard drives. The different partitions in these drives are exported by B and mounted in A. Bearing in mind that A and B are in the same, 100 Mbs Ethernet, how should the NFS server in B and the NFS client in A be configured in order to optimize the NFS performance? Effectively, MythTV in A will be just playing videos held in the NFS partitions mounted from B.<br>

There may have been others as well. The rsize and wsize must be multiples of 1024. I put 32k there, but you may get better performance at 64k or 128k. The max is 1M (and you must put it in numeric form).</div><div><br>
