The install I ran the speedtest on is:

FreeBSD baroque.ilse.net 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #23: Wed Aug  4 15:18:52 CEST 2004     root at tango.ilse.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BAROQUE i386

and runs 6 nfsiods.

How can I tell whether it uses transactions ?

The NFS server is mounted with:

mount_nfs -c -P -a 0 -r 8192 -w 8192 -i -o rw,noatime,nointr host:/path /nfs/host/path
