[OpenAFS-devel] Default params for afsd?

[Niklas Edmundsson]

Hi all!

I'm curious if someone went on and updated various afsd params to 
reflect modern hardware, or if there was little talk and no action ;)

I have heard/seen various discussions about how to get at least 
acceptable performance out of openafs, and it usually boils down to 
"you have to tune -chunksize, -whatnot and -whatchamakallit"...

So, what options should change? It seems that most people are for 
increasing the chunksize to 1MB-ish, which should be no match for 
current and not-so-current hardware. What the current default is beats 
me, src/afsd/afsd.c says "0" which probably has some magic meaning 
that I didn't find...

Other culprits? What are people actually using?

To make matters worse, afsd has some defaults that are accompanied by 
other defaults in the init scripts. To get a grip of the overall 
situation is rather hard, and I have a feeling that fixing at least 
some of it before a stable release would be a big gain.
