A small step forward: Now copying from No.2-Falcon to Server-Falcon works good
with any filesize, i use this mount-options on client Falcon:
'mount_nfs -v -o rw,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,retrans=10 schatz:/test /nfs/schatz'
It seems that 'retrans' must be set (not default).

Yes, i thought about that, too. Tested MTU 1492 and 1500 (on all 3 computers),
but there seems to be no difference. MTU setting is somehow not included in
/etc/sysconfig/config.if, so i edited in /etc/sysconfig/config.if and
/etc/rc.d/rc.net an additional variable 'maxtu'.
Seems like EasyMinT is not such easy at all ;-)

What about this 'metric' option? It's not supported yet with MinT (man ifconfig)
and is set to '0', but on LinuxPC it's set to '1'. What does this setting mean?

Ah yes, but how can i find this thread (without downloading all the archives)??
