Hi all,

I'm doing some testing on a very simple test environment with 2 netbooks, yeah netbooks, each with an 100Mb/s network interface.

Downloaded and installed 2.8.4-orangefs (mode: aio-threaded)

my pvfs2-fs.conf is:

<Defaults>

I mount tcp://netbook000000:3334 on /netb2 on each client
and
export, on each server, /netb2 with nfs.

On 2 other clients I mount the nfs-shares, each from a different server, and test copy performance from the netbooks, with 2 different 1GB-files, to local storage. But I'm not able to get more then 100 - 110Mb/s total. I expected to get something in the region of 160-200Mb/s.
1 copy proces from server to client gives 80Mb/s

Do I expect too much ? I thought it should scale more or less lineair.
