The /etc/fstab entry used by my nfs client is {server_ip}:/home/{server_user}/{server_path} /home/{client_user}/{client_path}

I wanted to know the rsize and wsize values used by default. I wanted to try out some benchmarks with various values smaller and larger than the default values so that i can arrive at an optimum value for my read heavy setup.

Reset to default

Don't modify rsize and wsize. Recent NFS servers and clients will work out the best value for you and will probably do a better job than you would as well. :)

If you are on a Linux box, take a look at /proc/mounts. You'll find the current value there. If you specify no value in /etc/fstab, that will be the default (or at least, a value that is considered sane by the system).

These are the options we use most of the time

vers=3,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=600,hard,intr

  • but nobody explain why use that parameter, this is my default rsize and wsize from my workstation [root@worktux ~]# grep nfs /proc/mounts 192.168.122.191:/nfsshare/export /mnt nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.122.191,mountvers=3,mountport=20048,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.122.191 0 0

I believe the default rsize and wsize are 8192 for both UDP and TCP mounts.

  • This isn't the case on recent distributions.
