Now that we have mksnap_ffs, anyone simulate NetApp's schedule system?

2004-06-03 Thread Tom Limoncelli
Has anyone written a script to manage mksnap_ffs snapshots similar to the way that NetApp does? (People with NetApp experience know what I mean :-). The configuration is very, um, concice, but it works really well once you understand it.) I imagine it would be a cron job that would run each

How many nfsd's to run on a Xeon?

2003-09-18 Thread Tom Limoncelli
Is it possible to run too many nfsd's? I remember back in 1992-1994 someone published a paper at Usenix (they were from Sun or Auspex, I don't remember) saying that performance went down if you ran more nfsd's than there were built-in process slots in your CPU. So, a Sparc that had 16

amd always nfs mounts as tcp?

2003-06-06 Thread Tom Limoncelli
amd on my NFS clients always mounts using TCP. I need to use UDP (long story). I've tried many different options and I can't get it to use UDP. If I mount it manually (i.e. without amd) it works fine: mount_nfs -3 -U server1:/u1/foo /mnt I can verify that it is using tcpdump. The amd

Improving FreeBSD NFS performance (esp. directory updates)
