It is very strange, I tried your NFS settings also (read it in the MAN page) but that didn't work. Samba runs also on my server and if I connect with a Windows XP machine to that Samba share I have full speed with the same files, so I think it isn't a memory/disk bottleneck. When I copy the files from Linux to Linux with the NFS mount the disk led remains on after 38 MB copied and the disk writes only some bites every 10 seconds (then I hear the disk make some noise :-). I want to know if it's a knfs bug or something before I upgrade the server to SuSE 8.0 (it's a tricky job and I don't want to spend hours of restoring data :-)
I have run linux NFS from SuSE 8.0 to SuSE 8.0 and it seems to work fine. This is on a switched wired network, and I get about the same performance copying a 100 MB file as with samba. If your NFS performance does not improve, you could try using SuSE samba to samba. I get consistent performance samba to samba as well, even on my wireless network.
