I have this setup:

host:  OS 11.0 guest: OS 11.1

The guest is exporting a NFS share (of a USB disk, of all things; long story, not relevant now). I'm copying some big files from the host to the guest (where it goes to the USB disk), via NFS.

It works.

The curiosity is that, whereas gkrellm in the guest shows an activity of around 0.8..5 MB/s in eth0, the host gkrellm shows almost none, both in vmnet1 and vmnet8. Well, the second one shows an activity of around 2KB.

But, if I look at "iptraf", it says that vmnet8 has an activity of 1000..3000 kbytes/sec, which is probably correct.

Why...?

Because the Vmware "nic" is not real, and its work load is really handled by the VMware Host process. I'm not sure that it provides a true picture to gkrellm. I've seen different results depending on whether I set up the nic as Bridged or Nat, with NAT yielding a more true picture of what was actually happening on the nic. -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
