Hello,
I'm presenting NFS shares to some FreeBSD VM guests with the following mount options (from my /etc/fstab):
This seems to work well, except I have to manually load MySQL, Apache, and Postfix at boot time, as my /usr/local directory is hosted on my NFS share on this test server (these start up normally when /usr/local resides on a local hard drive). Is it generally a bad idea to host a share like this on NFS? I'm thinking that it probably is and am happy to serve this locally if this would be better. However, if this is not a red flag and there is a way to get these services to start up on their own at boot, could you please let me know?
How about the wsize and rsize numbers? I was unable to find any resources for determining what these numbers best be set as for FreeBSD as a VM guest. Any pointers?
I also need to do some NFS mounts from my VM host which is hosted on CentOS. I know that this isn't a Linux based forum, but if you could kindly keep the information about wsize and rsize numbers general enough so that I can apply this knowledge to my Linux box, that would be great
A lot of online resources I've come across suggest using various numbers, but I don't really understand how these number are derived or if they are even necessary at all...
