Hello,

        I'm trying to optimize a NFS server used by diskless workstations
(Linux, FreeBSD, OpenVMS). This server actually runs NetBSD 10.99.14 but
I have built a -11 beta kernel last night.

legendre# df

        raid0 : raid 1 volume
        raid1 : raid 5 volume

        /srv contains all root filesystems for clients.
        /home contains users data.
        swaps volumes are exported to clients through iscsi (istgt over a ccd
device).

        NFS itself runs lika a charm. Throughput is very close to maximal
throughput of LAN.

        Today, bufq.strategies built in kernel are:
legendre# sysctl -a | grep bufq
kern.bufq.strategies = priocscan fcfs disksort

        I have seen I have removed from kernel BUFQ_READPRIO. I don't remember
why I have removed this strategy... and I have tried to find some
informations about these strategies.

        fcfs seems to be a trivial FIFO queue. A have found few informations
about priocscan strategy. But what is the difference between disksort
and priocscan ? And between priocscan and readprio ? Does prioscan works
in read and write and readprio only in read mode ?

        Best regards,

        JB
