Just to mention my experiences: I'm running an NFS root mythtv machine on top of XFS on top of LVM on top of Software RAID 5 on 3 250GB SATA drives. The server itself is a dual P-III 550 with 2GB of RAM and an Intel 100mbit NIC. The client is a Athlon XP1800+ with 1GB of ram and an Intel 100mbit NIC and a Hauppauge PVR-150. My NFS mount options are simple: nfsvers=3,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768.
<br><br>Even though my throughput is CPU limited on the server side, I haven't seen any shuddering or poor performance.<br><br>-Aaron<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/6/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Tom Wright
