+.SH NAME

+

+nfsrahead \- Configure the readahead for NFS mounts

+

+.SH SYNOPSIS

+

+nfsrahead [-F] [-d] <device>

+

+.SH DESCRIPTION

+

+\fInfsrahead\fR is a tool intended to be used with udev to set the \fIread_ahead_kb\fR parameter of NFS mounts, according to the configuration file (see \fICONFIGURATION\fR). \fIdevice\fR is the device number for the NFS backing device as provided by the kernel.

+

+.SH OPTIONS

+.TP

+.B -F

+Send messages to 

+.I stderr 

+instead of

+.I syslog

+

+.TP

+.B -d

+Increase the debugging level.

+

+.SH CONFIGURATION

+.I nfsrahead

+is configured in

+.IR /etc/nfs.conf ,

+in the section titled

+.IR nfsrahead .

+It accepts the following configurations.

+

+.TP

+.B nfs=<value>

+The readahead value applied to NFSv3 mounts.

+

+.TP

+.B nfs4=<value>

+The readahead value applied to NFSv4 mounts.

+

+.TP

+.B default=<value>

+The default configuration when none of the configurations above is set.

+

+.SH EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION

+[nfsrahead]

+.br

+nfs=15000              # readahead of 15000 for NFSv3 mounts

+.br

+nfs4=16000             # readahead of 16000 for NFSv4 mounts

+.br

+default=128            # default is 128
