Hello Knut! I second your request! :)
We are also using NFS with generally good performance. It works completely fine with a compute cluster and dozens of workstations connected to it. But you are right, performance in a SunRay environment is less than optimal. Apparently, there is no fair scheduling of file I/O requests by the Linux NFS client. If one user starts a large copy job, the next may wait seconds for his/her 'ls' to return. Does anyone know what causes this, or even better how to fix it? The only idea that comes to my mind is moving from a single mounted '/home' to using automounter, but I'm not so sure it will help. Currently, everything is moved through a single nfs3/tcp link. But would more mountpoints change that? regards, Elmar
