Hi fellows. As Arch Wiki - Pacman Tips say, i setup a nfs server in my home server so all the laptops can upgrade packages more quickly and without increasing load in the servers.
It all sounds great, but turns out there is one big problem. When a client is using the server to upgrade, the integrity check of packages takes a very long time. And believe me, downloading them is even faster than the that.
Is there something I can tweak to make this faster?
This is my fstab line in each client:
myserver:/var/cache/pacman/pkg /var/cache/pacman/pkg nfs4 defaults 0 0
And this is the line of /etc/exports in the server:
/var/cache/pacman/pkg *(rw,async,subtree_check,no_root_squash)
Thanks for your help in advance!

It doesn't use NFS but should be faster.

I thought about using it but i didn't wanted to depend on a extra package. Before using it, i want to know if my problem is easily solvable.
