I use the following options in my nfs mount (note some options may be default and not strictly necessary but I have included them for clarity) auto,noexec,nosuid,nodev,intr,_netdev,async,timeo=25,hard Specifically async is *much* faster than sync. I believe I set the timeo=25 to avoid problems when my remote disk had spun down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
