NAME

nfs3_do_readdirplus — turn on or off NFS version 3 readdirplus functionality on the NFS server

VALUES

Failsafe

1

Default

1

Allowed values

0: turn off NFS version 3 readdirplus functionality

1: turn on NFS version 3 readdirplus functionality

DESCRIPTION

nfs3_do_readdirplus controls the ability to turn on or off the NFS version 3 readdirplus functionality on the NFS server. If this functionality is turned off, the client is forced to use the readdir functionality instead.

Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?

The distributed file system administrator should examine this value if performance issues are being experienced when reading large directories.

Restrictions on Changing

The nfs3_do_readdirplus tunable is dynamic; tuning will take effect immediately on the running system.

What Are the Side Effects of Turning Off the Readdirplus Functionality?

By forcing the client to use readdir instead of readdirplus, the client is no longer following the NFS version 3 protocol. If problems occur, turn nfs3_do_readdirplus back on.

WARNINGS

All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX.

Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values. For information about the effects of installation on tunable values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was factory installed on your system, see HP-UX Release Notes at http://docs.hp.com.
