Hi list,
despite recent improvements with the nfs code, client performance still
seems to be a problem. I am getting < 2 MB/sec where i would expect at
least 10 MB/sec.
My Setup:
Machine | ANTSRV1 | ANTSRV2
==================================================
Board | Tyan 2882-D | ASUS A7V8X-X
CPU | Opteron 246 | Athlon XP1800+
Mem | 2G | 1G
NIC | Broadcom BCM5704C | Intel PRO/1000MT
OS:6.2-PRERELEASE #2 as of 01-OCT-2006
64Bit OS on ANTSRV1, 32Bit on ANTSRV2
The 2 machines are connected via a 1GB switch
============================
Trying UDP first

Client connecting to antsrv2, TCP port 5001

NFS from a Linux machine (Kernel 2.6.17.8) (connected via 10Mb LAN)
yields a constant value of ~10MB/sec (TCP and UDP), so the FreeBSD NFS
server seems to be ok.

This yields much better results. Could this be a 64bit-specific problem?
Both machines have statd and lockd running.
Any ideas where i could tune?
