Well, in my previous message I have suggested that NFS write operation is slow. Now I am desperate completely because I've found out that the read is very slow also. For instance, here are the elapsed times on an Ultra host on my linux box (P2-266, 3c905 network card) for two commands time dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=16k count=1024 ultra: 0:16.79 linux: 15:24.33 time dd if=testfile of=/dev/null bs=16k count=1024 ultra: 0:00.25 linux: 1:00.43 When I use ftp I obtain rather reasonable transfer rates (up to 500KB/s). Is my installation (SuSE 5.1) wrong or what? Thanks, Anatoli -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
