We use one Solaris NFS server to serve several mount points. One of the mount points serves a client that writes a large number of different small filles for long periods. This seems to hurt the performance of the clients of the other mount points.
The server has no lack of cycles, network, or i/o bandwidth. The issue is not disk contention. I imagine the issue is that the busy mount point is thrashing the buffer cache, and the authcache. One effect we definitely see is a substantial netgroup lookup load on the ldap server, presumably because of the authcache. Is there any way to limit the effects that the busy mount point has on the others. An SRM kind of approach?
