I think the appropriate question here is, "Why were you expecting iSCSI to be faster?" You're dealing with the same hardware, the same disks, the same network interface, the same wire speed, the same network stack, and then two different protocols, one of which is native to TCP/IP networking and the other which shoe-horns SCSI commands into protocol that they weren't originally designed for. :) These days I'd expect them to be about the same, but if you tweak them both, I'd expect NFS to outperform iSCSI. -Adam _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
