Hi, Thanks for the response. In fact, I don't that many of nfs client, the most are 12 of HPUX. I'm having very weird situations which I sincerely hope someone could look into. Start with the /etc/exports, # exports file system to hpux. /working1 hp01(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash) hp02(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)hp03...hp12 The weird thing is that only hp01 able to mount remote directory, the rest I always get permission denied. I suspect some configurations on hp02 hp03 which I don't aware of (actually don't understand). Does anyone has any other or similar experience as I do ? Appreciate any suggestions and comments.

Quite a lot :) We have boxes with more than 200 NFS clients on one box (a double-PII/400 with 512MB RAM), serving home directories for the users.

And what is the best number(clients) for optimum performance ?

This is heavily dependent on the power of that machine and your network. We use to connect the servers directly to the backplane of a fast ethernet switch using a Gigbit NIC.
