I've gotten a couple responses that NFS tuning is really network
tuning. So, I have the same question(s) as below except for network
tuning. Basically, I'm trying to figure out what kernel/system changes
I can make to try to get rid of messages like "NFS server not
responding" and other indications of NFS timeouts.

Thanks.
