Managing the Shares Setting up Network Filesystem (NFS) Access The NFS Setup page appears. 6 STEP 2 To enable NFS support, click Enable NFS support. This checkbox activates the other NFS configuration options on this page. STEP 3 To enable the optional asynchronous write option, click Use Asynchronous Writes. Asynchronous writes allow applications running on the NFS client to not block until write requests are complete on the NSS as they normally would. Instead they continue immediately after committing the write. This can improve performance if the NSS is heavily used. STEP 4 If asynchronous writes is enabled, you can enable aggregate write requests by selecting the Aggregate Write Requests checkbox. • When enabled, NFS write requests are "bulked" and sent in a batch. The benefit of enabling this feature is that it is more efficient. • When disabled, the write requests are sent immediately. The downside of enabling this feature is that there is a potential for permanent data loss should the NSS suffer an unexpected power loss or if the NFS client crashes. STEP 5 Click Update.
