[nflug] NFS noac option

[Justin Bennett]

For all you NFS junkies out there,
 
   I've got a Redhat V 3ES NFS server and several Redhat 2.1ES clients. 
I've got NIS and Automounter mounting NFS shares on one of the 2.1 boxes 
which then acts as a samba server to the PC's. I've got the auto.x files 
mounting the shares with a 'noac' option. I've noticed this slows my 
write times down to a crawl. a 38MB files takes 2 minutes to write with 
the 'noac' option, and 6 seconds without it. Do I really need to use the 
'noac' option? I really only have one active client (the samba server) 
the other clients do a backup of the NFS box once a night, and our 
database does an export there nightly. Would I cause myself greif by 
getting rid of the 'noac' option? what it I just set 'actimeo=3' or 
something like that?

Thanks
Justin
