Hello!
I was looking at our NFS server performance recently
and was puzzled by the number of the daemons it was 
running - 33. It might be the default for Suse 10.1
but I am not sure. It's usually recommended to set the
number to a multiple of 8 with 32 being perhaps the
most popular. I've read that 16 or 32 nfsd daemons 
produces the most efficient blocking for I/O operations.

How many NFS daemons people are using on a dedicated
NFS server?

Best,
Igor
