I've been experiencing 5 to 20 seconds freezes ever since I upgraded my nfs server. This serves about 30 people. Anytime someone writes a big file to their home directory, the freezes happen. You can experience the freezes when browsing the internet, I guess because firefox is constantly writing data (cache, cookies, etc...). Other apps freeze up too.
Now the question on my side is: can I force centos4 for serve nfs3 as opposed to nfs4. If I am not mistaken this is dependent on the client?
The reason Im asking is that if I can force the server to serve nfs3 then the clients will default to nfs3 themselves. right?
If no other suggestions help then you can mount NFS v2/3 only. Have a quick browse though...
$ man 5 nfs
Will.
