Well I am sorry for this post if it wont match to misc@ but I noticed some strange behavior and I assume the NFS code is responseable.
If you store the VIDEO_TS directories to a HDD and share it via NFS to have a kind of media server at home you might notice this: Watching the movies with mplayer works (partly, you wont be able to select other languages at least not with the stuff I watch somehow) but it playes "kinda" fluetly. If you try to watch it with VLC it just starts/stops. I assume the NFS Server isn't able to provide the data in time. I tried incasing the buffers but that didn't helped. Is there anything I could do to get more speed? Also if I try to copy data via NFS it is DAMN slow. I just get speeds around 3.x - 4.x MB/s. If I copy the same data via SSH I get ~9.xMB (depending to the files and their size and co). So it seams soemthing is wrong with the NFSd here. exports: /mnt/hdd1 -alldirs -maproot=sr -network=192.168.1 -mask=255.255.255.0 On the client: mount_nfs 192.168.1.1:/mnt/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1 I tried using UDP, incrased the buffers but it has no effect somehow. Also I just have one active client so the default of 4 started NFS daemons should be fine. Is there anything I do wrong or is it the NFS code wich is propably too slow? Kind regards, Sebastian
