           Summary: NFS Server is slow
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: RC 5
          Platform: 32bit
        OS/Version: SuSE Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: k-epsilon@xxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


Uploading small files to the NFS-Server is very slow. For example i copied /etc
to the server (cp -r /etc /nfs) and monitored the transfer rate with gkrellm
which is between 50 kB/s and 100 kB/s.
Uploading large files (100MB) gives the expected transfer rate of 10 MB/s. 

The transfer rate can be enhanced (~5 MB/s) by changing the option "sync" to
"async". But the NFS-FAQ does not suggests this option.

The used optins are:
/var/lib/nfs # more etab
/nfs/share     
10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,wdelay,hide,nocrossmnt,secure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,s
ubtree_check,secure_locks,acl,mapping=identity,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)

Server and client have an Intel Network adapter which uses the e100 module. The
Client does not use any mount options.

SUSE 10.0 on the same machine is much faster. Even copying with scp is above
500 kB/s.
