We have a PC that accesses an NFS directory exported by another
directory. Both PCs are OpenBSD 3.9-stable i386 GENERIC and use sk
network interfaces directly connected to a 10/100 Cisco switch (with
100baseTX full-duplex).
The destination is a collection of mailboxes in maildir format, so it is
not unusual that there are directories with a large number of file.
I noticed that sometimes the first PC has a very high load average (but
with high idle CPU percentages). Now I have found that in this cases the
PC is reading (probably to recalculate the quota file) large directories.
I have seen that it needs over a minute to do a simple "ls path | wc" of
a directory with 50.000 files (with filenames of about 70 characters).
Is it normal???
Is there something I can do to increase the speed?
Thanks
