That ones looks like it is worth a bookmark!

One thing it doesn't note is that the "-n #" in "/sbin/nfsd -t -u -n 6" 
indicates the number of NFS worker threads to spawn.  If your going to
have alot of traffic or clients this number needs to be adjusted or NFS
performance will suck even more than it does inherently.
