could you try a different speed/stress test?
for example, download the latest firefox archive (or any other
big-enough compilable application),
decompress it on the server, export the filesystem via nfs and via gfs,
and try to compile it from
the client: what's the difference between the two filesystems?
I did some tests unpacking/compiling/installing mysql and the results
are below. The results are variable -- GFS is better on some and NFS
and better on others...
GFS:
# pwd
/gfs/users/mysql-src
# time unzip mysql-5.1.34.zip
3.448u 2.020s 1:06.49 8.2% 0+0k 0+0io 1pf+0w
# pwd
/gfs/users/mysql-src/mysql-5.1.34
# ./configure --prefix=/gfs/users/mysql
# time make
1725.799u 174.510s 43:42.19 72.4% 0+0k 0+0io 16pf+0w
# time make install
24.741u 15.672s 2:51.08 23.6% 0+0k 0+0io 26pf+0w
<remove all mysql directories and start from scratch with NFS>
NFS:
# pwd
/nfs/users/mysql-src
# time unzip mysql-5.1.34.zip
3.100u 3.548s 12:10.88 0.9% 0+0k 0+0io 1pf+0w
# pwd
/nfs/users/mysql-src/mysql-5.1.34
# ./configure --prefix=/nfs/users/mysql
# time make
1713.543u 178.927s 38:53.68 81.0% 0+0k 0+0io 8pf+0w
# time make install
24.353u 17.173s 7:49.34 8.8% 0+0k 0+0io 12pf+0w
Thanks,
