Hi,

Glance has some good displays of what's being done on the NFS Server side.

You can also check out the disk activity and queue lengths on that NFS Server.

HTH,

NFS is a complex, stateless protocol that involves service daemons on both ends. On a clean network (and that doesn't mean a bunch of hubs and rogue PCs), you'll need anough client and server daemons to prevent overruns but not too many to slow down processing on a slow server or client. nfstat will provide this information. NFS requires a lot of network bandwidth for the overhead and certainly cannot compete with SCSI disks in performance.
