Increase the amount of nfs processes in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server. Or your disk is saturated (unlikely). I install dozens at a time with no slow down.<div><br></div><div><div>RPCNFSDCOUNT=512</div><div><br></div><div>
Increasing the count arbitrarily high will not affect performance. However, over 1100 or so it starts to mess up the NFS kernel process and it stops working :p. </div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 1:42 PM, Katarzyna Myrek <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:oliviakrk@gmail.com" target="_blank">oliviakrk@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

When I try to reinstall more than 4-5 clients at a time, server gets unresponsive. It is a virtual machine with 2 processors and 16GB ram. NFSD processes are killing the machine... Disk performance isn't a problem (already checked that)...<br>
