Re: NFS performance problems



Thanks for the suggestion. 2.2.10 also has better nfs client performance
-- I just tried it after a few hassles building a .deb to get
dhcp-client-beta to work on a slink system with the 2.2.10 kernel.

                                 user time       ____real time____
				both kernels     2.0.36     2.2.10
compile/link                       6 sec         30 sec      7 sec
many files read from nfs server
all writes local

NFS write performance from linux to the hp server is still bad. I may
try the 2.2.10ac1 patch and see if that helps things. I think Alan was
working on a write-gathering patch for NFS.

I hope you don't mind me replying to the list. I wanted to post a
resolution of my problem there for anyone searching the archives for a
similar problem.

I'm still not on the list, so if you have questions write me directly.
