i have an NFS4 server with exports the home directory of each user and one additional directory for data exchange. On the client at least the home directory and the data exchange directory is mounted. On the client when i copy a large file to the data exchange KDE, firefox and many other programs appear to be very slow. These Apps like to read/write in the home directory, but the server is quite busy reading/writing from/to data exchange. Is it possible to tell the server and/or client that the NFS home directory export/mount has top-priority?

Thanks

You might be going at this the wrong way. Frequently accessed files aren't candidates for network folders. Perhaps you should state your situation and talk about your ideal and accepted expectations. – surfasb Dec 21 '11 at 15:43
