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?
Linux is known to have one of the slowest NFS clients/servers. This is suppost to be fixed in the new Linux kernel, or be on the list of things to rewrite. -- Andrew L.
