You enable NFS-application streamlining in the Optimization Service - Protocol: NFS page. NFS-application streamlining provides latency optimization improvements for NFS operations primarily by prefetching data, storing it on the client HP EFS WAN Accelerator for a short amount of time, and using it to respond to client requests.

You enable NFS-application streamlining where NFS performance over the WAN is impacted by a high latency environment.

NFS file system objects have owners and permissions and NFS-application streamlining conforms to the file system permissions model by enforcing file server and volume policies. You must ensure that the policy is set correctly to Read-Only or Global Read-Write as appropriate. Setting the policy to Read-Only on a non-read-only file system results in Read-Only file system (ROFS) errors.
