I've managed to boost my NFS performance to around 1.7MB/s (much more
and the CPU on my NFS server starts maxing out) by using the NFS
kernel server, rebuilding the kernel on my server & clients for NFS
v3. On the server, I export directories with async on the server
/home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)
and mount this directory with rsize and wsize at 8k, to stream the
data iin 8k blocks
seagoon:/home /home nfs defaults,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
hope this helps.
