Environment
Reload 4
Situation
Can the "MTU" setting (see, "Off-Site Reload Server / Slow or Failing Backups Over Slow WAN Links") be disabled, allowing NFS to determine its own buffer size? If so, how is this done?
Resolution
Edit the profile's conf file (/opt/beginfinite/reload/conf/[profile].conf):
1. Make a backup copy of the conf file.
2. Open the original conf file.
3. Edit the line, "CLIENT_NFS_OPTIONS=tcp,rsize=[number],wsize=[number]" to read "CLIENT_NFS_OPTIONS=tcp,hard".
4. Save your changes.
