NFS slow

[Jan Catrysse]

Hello all,

 

I am having some problems with NFS and slow performance.

 

This is the scenario:

2x FreeBSD 7.1. (Raid storage server, MP, the works)

GB Lan interface between them.

 

When I transfer 1 big file the speed is never higher than 10MB/s with a peak
to 14MB/s.

When I transfer multiple files at the same time speed is about 10MB/s per
thread.

 

Disk speed > 100MB/s

Network speed using samba > 60MB/s (limited by clients disk speed)

 

Tried enabling NFSlockd, NFSstatd but that changes nothing.

 

Any help or hunch would be greatly appreciated.

 

Jan
