Just as a data point for what it's worth (we're on Solaris rather than
Linux), we've been running with these parameters since pretty much the
beginning of time:

Instance fs, (type is fs) currently running normally.
    Auxiliary status is: file server running.
    Process last started at Sat Mar 17 02:56:47 2001 (5 proc starts)
    Last exit at Sat Mar 17 02:56:47 2001
    Command 1 is '/usr/afs/bin/fileserver -nojumbo -L -p 16 -rxpck 400'
    Command 2 is '/usr/afs/bin/volserver -nojumbo'
    Command 3 is '/usr/afs/bin/salvager'
