NFS slow/lockups
I am trying copy about 350Mb of files - each one about 2.8MB each - over an
nfs link. Although I primarily trying this via drag and drop inside kde,
command line copying is also not working
With the sync option it is very slow - the dialog box can't report the copy
rate and marks it as stalled. With the async option it goes fast until about
30MB are copied and then comes to a complete halt.
I was using the nfs-user daemon, but I have also switched over to the
nfs-kernel one. Doesn't seem to make any difference.
Just to show its not networking problems, I have resorted to copying the files
via scp - even encrypted I am getting about 0.5Mb/sec
Any idea whats wrong and how to improve performance?
