NFS Tuning
Subsystems (2)
For NFS Version 3, is there a formula to help administrators tune NFSD to their environment?
I'm looking at thread count, and obviously see the advantages that adding threads to a server that is experiencing large number of thread overutilization, but I am wondering if there is a way to best calculate the threads needed.
Such as:
CPU Speed:
RAM:
Total Bandwidth of Serving Network Interfaces, and How many network interfaces served:
Number of Clients: (Would OS of clients affect - are some 'more efficient consumers than others?)
Equals: How many threads this machine can handle or should be using.
Also, another tuning item i found was for Memory limits for the input queue. It recommends 256K for a standard install, as opposed to the default 64K.
Standard setup has 8 threads, so 256K gives each thread 32K input queue. For 16 threads, does the calculation still hold true? (512K input queue= 32K/thread) What are the signs that can allude to input queue problems?
I'm just trying to tune my servers in a less than trial and error method.
Thanks for your help,
