Does anyone have any concrete information? Or maybe one simply doesn't do things this way.
Using NFS exports, is the preferred way in my opinion. But you'll always see less performance on a "network" oriented file system, than what you'll see on your local filesystem. If you take a simple 100Mb network, that means you'll get 10Mbytes/s data rate. That's going to be about 10 times slower than on a ATA 133 channel (That includes SATA 150). Or, using hdparm -t on my hard drive:
/dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.01 seconds = 56.43 MB/sec
I've got a different setup, elsewhere. Where I use NFS exports of all user drives and can log into any system on the network with the user drives intact.
What are 'user drives'? Jerome
I see no difference, when working with the computer. This is on a 100Mb/s backend. So I suggest that the problem does not lie in the NFS/SSH stuff. I haven't followed the discussion too deeply, but what "authendication" scheme are you using? What do the log files say? Do you have any errors occurring, etc? Perhaps a slow LDAP user authendication scheme? Do you experience any other networking problems, such as if you try downloading something remotely what speeds to you achieve?
Cheers and thanks for your patience and help. Steve.
