Hi all, thank you for your responses. Before going through them in detail, I would just like to make a reality check. What kind of performance figures should one expect from an averagely working afs network (LAN/WAN)? Say, if you would duplicate roughly the 2000 files/300MB directory in your setup, what kind of rates do you get? That is, is 500-1000KB/s a reasonable starting point for optimization, not a magnitude or two higher?
I actually created a simple genetic-algorithm program to optimize fileserver parameters. Eventhough I didn't run it to full length, I'm pretty confident I couldn't achieve much higher rates just by parameterizing the fileserver. I'm trying to get the performance good for generic, mixed use; some user may work with large individual files, another one with large amount of small files. It shouldn't be optimized to either extreme. br, jukka _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
