And there is a difference between reading and writing. With a NetBSD-current (oldish) client and a NetBSD-6.1 server and a Gigabit link I get: reading with rsize=64k: ~ 90MB/s reading with rsize=32k: ~ 60MB/s writing with wsize=64k: ~ 40MB/s writing with wsize=32k: ~ 30MB/s The disk itself gets 110MB/s reading and 90MB/s writing locally on the NFS server. Writing via NFS is always slower because even with NFS3 it's partially synchronous. -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
