Hello,
I've installed a test OpenAFS server (debian packages, v1.2.10, dbserver and fileserver on a same machine) and a client on another machine (debian package, v1.2.10). I made a volume for one of my user (the only one :-) and I'm trying to make it have some decent performance.
Everything works fine except it's exceptionnaly slow. The client local cache seems to be correctly configured:
bash-2.05b$ fs getcacheparms AFS using 13 of the cache's available 100000 1K byte blocks.
But when I try to create a file, I see a bottleneck where it never goes above 5KB/s! In fact, it seems locked to 5KB/s When trying to create a simple file of 1Mo:
bash-2.05b$ dd if=/dev/zero of=fichier.raw bs=1024k count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1048576 bytes transferred in 190.847965 seconds (5494 bytes/sec)
Or even a file of 256k:
bash-2.05b$ dd if=/dev/zero of=fichier.raw bs=256k count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 262144 bytes transferred in 46.871588 seconds (5593 bytes/sec)
I tried to create a file up to 2777 bytes, where it still makes 5KB/s. Below, it creates the file at 653Ko/s, but I guess it's not really representative, as the filesize is so small. But, for any size, it *always* transfer the data exactly at 5KB/s.
I even activated the storebehind option, but it didn't change anything:
bash-2.05b$ fs storebehind -allfiles 2048 -verbose Default store asynchrony is 2048 kbytes.
Making a tcpdump on the client machine, I noticed a lot of traffic, the packet sizes set to the maximum (I think):

(192.168.0.36 being the client machine, and 192.168.0.7 being the OpenAFS server).
The options I set where the one set by default on the afs.conf file created by the debian package script (I added the chunksize, without any change):
/usr/sbin/afsd -stat 2800 -dcache 2400 -daemons 5 -volumes 128 -chunksize 20 -dynroot -fakestat -afsdb -nosettime
I'd like to know if there is some parameter that I might have forgotten/not set that locks the bandwidth to 5KB/s, or how can I debug that problem, I don't know of any way/tools to see what's wrong.
