Well I was/am happy with it and I ment bytes/sec ... the raidset itself it not so fast (old hardware and PATA): /dev/md2: Timing buffered disk reads: 142 MB in 3.00 seconds = 47.33 MB/sec What can I do to make nfs mount faster? >> Server 2 has the mounted array shared with Samba and several Windows >> clients are connected to this share. >> >> Now performance on the Windows clients is sometimes really good, but >> with multiple clients transferring files, sometimes the share seems >> "locked" for a few seconds or longer. > > samba is suboptimal for file sharing activities..
