Re: Mac OS X 10.4 and NetApp



Oh, I can get it mounted. I'm just looking for settings for best performance:

mount -t nfs -o rw,tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,a=4,b,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,rwsize=327 68,x=2,readahead=4 netapp-0000:/vol/vol0/animal /nas/netapp-0000-animal

Is what I'm currently using. NetApp has tuning papers for linux but nothing for Mac OS X.

I'd like to benchmark my settings but bonnie++ from ports dies when on the NFS mount but works on local disk. On linux, it works in both cases.

thanks,
greg

Hello,

Does anyone have recommendations for the NFS options for mounting a NetApp?

What exactly are you having problems with? This should work: mount - t nfs host.name.goes.here:/path/to/share /path/to/local/target. E.g.:


mount -t nfs netapp.bowdoin.edu:/vol/run/backups /mnt/ netapp_backups

Also, with Linux, the mount command reports back all the options used to mount a share. In 10.4 I get the barest amount of information and certainly not enough to repeat the mount. What's the appropriate way to get this info?

Finally, what's the recommended way to automount? And I don't necessarily mean Apple recommended but rather works in many conditions.

thanks,
greg
