I have an NFS setup and I am using the defaults. I have see some problems that I *believe* may be related to NFS. I did some research and noticed the following:

using the nfsstat -s command I see that the getattr field is at 97%. The webpage that I was reading says sun recommends this to be < 40% and should consider changing the actimeo mount option. Is this reasonable? What will this help or not help

I am running 8 nfsd threads and in /proc/net/rpc/nfsd the th fields look very high. The majority of the numbers are > 100000 and as high as 600000. Are these numbers high and what exactly do they represent? Would increase the number of nfs threads be beneficial?

Thanks you for your time and help!

The OS you're using, what version of NFS and the problems that you're seeing would probably be nice to know.
