Dear Managers,

running an ES40 (1 Processor) in a 2node-cluster as an heavily frequented
file-server, I sometimes get trouble with NFS-performance ?
Having tuned "server-threads, client-threads", found "timeout- to call-ratio =
0.2%" (beeing ok),
I saw the [kernel idle] process using up to 45% of the one cpu.
Any idea what this means ??

Thanks

Martin
