Hi, I've noticed an extremely slow performance of NFS when a SuSE Linux 8.1 client (2.4.19-4GB) reads from a Solaris 7 (5.7 Generic_106541-18) server via NFS. Can anybody confirm the problem or is it specific to my configuration? Typical times for copying a 10 MiB file follow: $ time cp /data/mr/genesis/amfile . real 0m27.582s user 0m0.010s sys 0m0.060s $ time rcp cobra:/data/mr/genesis/amfile . real 0m1.005s user 0m0.010s sys 0m0.060s The speed is approximately 10 MiB/s via rsh but only 371 KiB/s via NFS. 371 KiB/s is far too slow for a 100 Mb/s TP Ethernet network. I've experimented with mount parameters (e.g. rsize=8192, wsize=8192, nfsvers=2) but without any significant improvement. I don't remember NFS was a bottleneck when SuSE Linux 7.3 was installed on the client. I still keep the old 7.3 so I can do some comparisons later. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
