NFS / Memory Usage / Load
I am currently running Linux kernel 2.4.24 on a NAS server running
Debian. The machine is only doing
NFS using nfs-kernel-server. The machine is a Dual P3 1.4 gigahertz,
with 1.5 gigs of memory. I notice
that the server uses all the memory, also the load on the machine is
always high. I am trying to figure out
what I can do to help the load on the machine as well as the memory
usage. Any comments would be
appreciated.

In the /etc/defaults/nfs-kernel-server my options are set to:

# Options for rpc.mountd

Any help would be appreciated.
