I've configured 24 threads (for 16 hardware cores/ 32Threads on the NFS server with this processors) But it seams that there are buffer setup to modify too when increasing the threads number... It is not done. Load average on the server is below 1.... Patrick

NFS threads and so called CPU hyper/simultaneous threads are quite different things and it can hurt performance if not configured correctly. Regards, Simon
