When Network File System (NFS) access is enabled, clients with certain IP addresses can access network shares on the appliance, as if the shares were located on the client's hard drive. For information, see Mounting Network Shares Using NFS.
To configure NFS access
The Share > NFS Settings page appears.

Enable NFS |
Select this option to enable NFS. |
Use asynchronous writes |
Select this option to enable asynchronous writes. When a client attempts to write data to the appliance, the appliance sends the client an acknowledgment of the write request, before actually writing the data to the disk. This enables the client to post additional write requests to the appliance, while the appliance is still writing data from the first request to disk, thereby improving throughput. |
Aggregate write requests |
Select this option to specify that write requests should be aggregated and sent in a single batch, instead of one at a time. This improves throughput. |
