nfs-server twice as fast written to as read from

[Claus Guttesen]

Hi.

Is testing a nfs-server with current as of July 9'th.
While copying to and from the server to two different
hosts, I noticed that copying _to_ the server was
twice as fast as copying _from_ the server. This was
regardless of which host I tested from.

Is using tcp, r/w-size 65536 on client, server:

net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 65536
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 65536

All hosts are on 100 Mbit/s.

It takes 5 min. 30 sec. copying 3 GB to, 11 min. 43
sec. from the nfs-server. Is there a penalty reading
from the server in relation to nfs?

regards
Claus
