Unlike SFS 1.1, the sfs_rc file specifies the total number of NFSops/sec across all of the clients used. Because the benchmark only allow specifying an even number of NFSops/sec, the actual requested ops/ sec may be less due to rounding down. For example, 1000 NFSops/sec requested over 6 clients will result in each client generating 166 NFSops/sec for an aggregate of 996 NFSops/sec.
