[SOLVED] make NFSv4 more responsive

When a large copy job is running to an NFSv4 share in Nautilus the share becomes unresponsive, i.e. it takes multiple minutes to browse a directory on that share in another Nautilus window. Is it possible to change that? I want the NFS share to lower prioritize my copy job and higher prioritize my directory listings.

Here's how the share is mounted:

theserver:/ on /mnt/share type nfs4 (rw,noatime,vers=4.2,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=10,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.0.11,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.0.100)

The server is running the latest version of OpenWRT and exports the share like so:

/mnt/sda1 *(rw,fsid=0,all_squash,insecure,sync,no_subtree_check)

Alright, exporting with "async" instead of "sync" solved the problem.
