After some tuning clients side, some test, i finaly tuned up my nfs clients so now everything _seems_so_far_ to go well. I used those options: soft,nfsvers=3,wsize=16384,rsize=1024 to notice, the soft option helped a _LOT_ aswell as moving to nfs3 and chaging the write size to 16384. It's of course all depending your configuration, i use something like: time dd to write and read to nfs and get the time used. The amount of headers in the connection seems to have a BIG impact over nfs which i didn't expect. Thanks to all anyways, if i still get issues, i'll keep you posted and eventually move to samba or why not, having both running to failover.... :P Thanks :) Pierre.
