Aah, you have mentioned the unmentionable, I wouldn't use linux as a NFS server ever! I would recommend that you use Solaris for NFS as Sun invented NFS (at work we say definitivly broken) it is the reference platform for other *nix. Linux is a great NFS client though...
Oddly enough, the kernel nfs in Linux 2.2 has been better for me than the Solaris implementation in 2.5.1 and 2.6. Solaris 7 and 8 are better than 2.2, so I'm hoping that the 2.4 kernels will level things up again.
The non-kernel nfs server isn't worth using, though, and in most cases you should use rsize=8192,wsize=8192.
Now I've rebuilt this machine, I'm off to play with ext3 (mangled /home, here we come!). Any last words of advice?
