[mythtv-users] diskless frontend nfs throughput

[Marc Tousignant]

Hi Thomas:

I set the nfs parameters directly in the pxelinux.cfg/default file.  I will
try to remember to post exactly what I have when I get home.  One thing I
did notice if I had an incorrect parameter, pxelinux.cfg would ignore all of
the options and the nfs options were different in pxelinux vs what I have in
fstab.  Maybe this is your issue.
