Hello, I am running a x86 gentoo box as a nfs server. As a filesystem I am using XFS on a 3ware Raid system.
The 3ware systems seems to be quite quick, although access via NFS seems to be very slow. Any ideas how I can improve speed ? I was expected a speed only limited by the 100 Mbit network. Now, the speed is so slow, that reading/writing at the same time is nearly impossible. Any ideas how to improve the speed ? hdparm on the gentoo box machine: backup3 ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 4108 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2054.34 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 232 MB in 3.01 seconds = 77.09 MB/sec /etc/exports on the gentoo box: /mnt/backup/ 192.168.1.0/24 (rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check) I am not even able to run a bonnie benchmark on the client. It seems to hang while doing rewriting. Running bonnie on the nfs server gives a fast result. /etc/fstab on the client: 192.168.1.3:/mnt/backup /mnt/backup nfs rw,users,async 0 http://pastebin.com/m72ae9d47 Any ideas ? -- www.stonki.de: the more I see, the more I know....... www.proftpd.de: Deutsche ProFTPD Dokumentation www.krename.net: Der Batch Renamer für KDE www.kbarcode.net: Die Barcode Solution für KDE -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
