We're running with these

Instance fs, (type is fs) currently running normally.
    Auxiliary status is: file server running.
    Process last started at Mon Apr 30 12:59:20 2001 (4 proc starts)
    Last exit at Mon Apr 30 12:59:20 2001
    Last error exit at Mon Apr 30 12:59:20 2001, by vol, due to signal 11
    Command 1 is '/usr/afs/bin/fileserver -implicit rl -L -p 24 -rxpck 800
-udpsize 2048000'
    Command 2 is '/usr/afs/bin/volserver -p 16 -udpsize 2048000'
    Command 3 is '/usr/afs/bin/salvager'

recently over the past couple weeks we've started seeing volserver issues
(unpredictable) when moving volumes. there has been some discussion here
that it might be related to the large params. 

>From looking around, it looks like a lot of sites are just running without
any params at all. 

These are one PIII-800's with 512MB RAM, running 2.2.16, servers are
3.6-2.3. We haven't switched servers to openafs yet.
