Yes! Make sure am-utils is installed, and edit the file /etc/amd.net
Add the options to the opts: section of /defaults, and you should be all set

Subject: Re: NFS Tuning
Brian,
I've got a couple of ideas. The first one, is to try to improve your
send and receive packet sizes. This usually defaults to 4K, but 8K
tends to have a dramatic improvement on performance, and users commonly
set it using the rsize and wsize options like so when mounting from the
client-side:
mount -t nfs -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192 ...
If you have a more modern version of Linux at both ends, you can try
increasing the sizes even further.
Another possibility is to increase the size of the NFS memory buffers on
the server to say 256KB. On RHEL 4, the default is 128KB.
You can do this by using the following commands:
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
Thanks,
James Cooley

Good morning,
Can someone help me with tuning up NFS or point me to a good reference?
I'm running several servers, RH7.3, RH9, Solaris 8 and FC3. We're
getting absolutely terrible network performance and it's not just with
NFS. However, I ran up ethereal on a few of the servers and in less
then three minutes I captured over a million packets, of which 95.4%
were UDP NFS packets. How do I go about turning up NFS? I know this
is
way too much traffic for the size of our network and I'm at a complete
loss as to what to do.
Thanks,
