NFS with HP-UX Clients

[Matthias Schuendehuette]

Hello,

I had severe problems with HP-UX 10.20 Clients on my FreeBSD 
5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 NFS-Servers. Transfer of larger Files (approx 6 MB) 
was horribly slow until I reduced the wsize/rsize of the Clients to 
4096.
(With a HP-UX 11.11 Client it worked up to 8192).

Are such adjustments of the mount-options common work for NFS-Admins?

I'm not very experienced concerning NFS and I remember that HP had 
"NFS/NIS Patches" for 10.20 nearly every 3 Month. But honestly: Is this 
more a problem of the client or more a problem of the server?

Don't misunderstand me - I really don't want to blame FreeBSD, these 
server(s) are my first FreeBSD-Servers in production use at work - I 
personally am working with FreeBSD since Version 2.0 and I'm really 
convinced. But you know the managers: They know Bill Gates, eventually 
they know Linux but "what the hell is FreeBSD!!??" :-) So everybody is 
quite sensitive in the moment...
