Re: NFS performance-tuning FreeBSD - NetApp

Out of the box, with nothing tuned (no special parameters for mount_nfs, no kernel tuning), performance is very sluggish: I've got ~250Mbit/sec performance with peaks around 400Mbit/sec. Sure enough, neither CPU (server and NetApp) nor network performance is the problem here - it must be something NFS-related. Any ideas on how to increas my NFS-performance? (Special mount parameters, kernel tuning,...) I would suggest bumping the read and write sizes to 32K and using tcp instead of udp If you have very large directories, you can also see an increase in responsiveness by enabling readdirplus as well, but that wont help with raw throughput. Try passing the following parameters to mount and see if performance is any better -r=32768 -w=32768 -l -T -- Steven Kreuzer http://www.exit2shell.com/~skreuzer ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: HTTP proxy which prints HTTP in human readable form
