Options
rsize=n The number of bytes NFS uses when reading files from an
NFS
server. The default value is dependent on the kernel,
cur-
rently 1024 bytes. (However, throughput is
improved
greatly by asking for rsize=8192.)
wsize=n The number of bytes NFS uses when writing files to an
NFS

cur-
rently 1024 bytes. (However, throughput is
