Did you try turning off synchronous writes? Or using a server with a battery-backed up write cache? Synchronous writes to disk are sure to make NFS writing slow. For your performance comparisons to SAN block-level access, were you using a cluster filesystem? I've never used a cluster filesystem myself, so I have no idea how they perform, but I would imagine (perhaps incorrectly) that since they are trying to basically solve most of the same problems as NFS, that they would suffer similar performance issues. |>oug _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
