5. Optimizing NFS Performance Getting network settings right can improve NFS performance many times over -- a tenfold increase in transfer speeds is not unheard of. The most important things to get right are the rsize and wsize mount options. Other factors listed below may affect people with particular hardware setups.

Hobbit Monitor Welcome to the Hobbit Monitor project homepage. Hobbit is a system for monitoring servers and networks. It takes its inspiration from the Big Brother monitoring system, but unlike Big Brother it is designed to work well whether you need to monitor a small network with just a handful of hosts, or large networks with thousands of servers and network services. Hobbit is the successor to the bbgen toolkit, which has been available as an add-on to Big Brother since late 2002. The name change was decided upon when Hobbit acquired enough functionality to be a stand-alone product. The tools that formed the bbgen toolkit are still present in Hobbit and are quite important for it, so if you have used bbgen before Hobbit will seem quite familiar. What does Hobbit do ?
collectd – The system statistics collection daemon collectd is a daemon which collects system performance statistics periodically and provides mechanisms to store the values in a variety of ways, for example in RRD files. What does collectd do? collectd gathers statistics about the system it is running on and stores this information. Those statistics can then be used to find current performance bottlenecks (i.e. performance analysis) and predict future system load (i.e. capacity planning). Or if you just want pretty graphs of your private server and are fed up with some homegrown solution you're at the right place, too
