I kept getting RPC timeout errors when trying to grep though files on an
NFS filesystem mounted from aphrodite. Changing the rsize to be 1024
seemed to improve the situation. The line was:
grep G /mit/username/.*
where .* expands to 34 files.
After failing repeatedly with the rsize at 1400 (the default), I managed
to succeed by changing rsize to 1024. After that, I changed rsize back
1400 and it worked sometimes and failed sometimes.
