Goal: reduce the impact of greedy clients (primarily known ones, but hopefully unexpected ones too) on the response time of the rest of the filer's clients. I don't care if the CIFS software share must accept
Adam -
I'd suggest taking a look at FlexShare (available since 7.2.x at no additional cost) which has been developed for exactly this problem.
It ONLY kicks in when there is contention of resources (eg. CPU, memory)
Prioritise the NFS workloads to high, and either leave the CIFS workload as is or set to low.
