nfs is very slow

[Gregor Stößer <stoesser@chemie.uka.de>]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with my nfs-server. Performance is very bad, but
all ather protocols (ftp, http, scp) are quite fast. Using scp I can
write around 7 MB per second on the nsf-disk, while with nfs it's just
300 kB. I checked the net, all switches and the ethernet cards, so I'm
sure all the hardware is okay.
I'm running woody(ia64) on a HP I2000 workstation. Everything worked
fine until last week and I'm not able to find any failures. I exceeded
the number of nfs servers in /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server from 8 to 32.
All rpc programms are running, everything seems fine but performance is
rather horrible. Any hints?
Regards

Gregor

P.S. please answer me directly as I'm not on the list
