The
NFS Setup
page appears.
STEP 2
To enable NFS support, click
Enable NFS
. This checkbox activates the other NFS
configuration options on this page.
STEP 3
To enable the optional asynchronous write option, click
Use Asynchronous
Writes
. Asynchronous writes allow applications running on the NFS client to not
block until write requests are complete on the NSS as they normally would.
Instead they continue immediately after committing the write. This can improve
performance if the NSS is heavily used.
STEP 4
If asynchronous writes is enabled, you can enable aggregate write requests by
selecting
Aggregate Write Requests
checkbox. When enabled, NFS write
requests are "bulked" and sent in a batch. When disabled, the write requests are
sent immediately. The benefit of enabling this feature is that it is more efficient. The
downside of enabling this feature is that there is a potential for permanent data
loss should the NSS suffer an unexpected power loss or if the NFS client crashes.
