NFS wsize in /etc/exports?

[A. Daniel King_1]

Hi, folks.

I was wondering how I set wsize and rsize in /etc/exports. I can't seem to get the syntax correct. I have (which does work):

/mydir -async,root=myclient,access=myclient

But inserting wsize=32768 anywhere in the line gives error, as in:

/mydir -wsize=32768,async,root=myclient,access=myclients

/mydir -async,root=myclient,access=myclients,wsize=32768

Both return:

exportfs error: unknown option: wsize=32768

Am I missing a patch? I'm using HP-UX 11.0.

Thanks in advance.

wsize and rsize are mount options; you set them on the client end.

hello,

wsize and rsize cannot be used in the exports file, because it's not an NFS export option. Instead, you can use those options when you mount the NFS exported file systems at the client side. You cannot use this as exportfs options. Check these for details:
# man exportfs
# man mount_nfs

If you're not sure about the syntax in /etc/fstab file (on the client's side) you can always use SAM to add this entry. SAM->Networking&Communication->NFS->MountedRemoteFS. In the action tab AddRemoteFS->UsingNFS. After you have entered the appropriate values, goto the "Mount Options" and in there you can set the wsize and rsize.

I was under the impression that this had to be set on both sides (client/server).

Thanks for clearing that up.
