Subject: [gentoo-user] NFS server perfomance tuning
I'm running an NFS server on Gentoo (2.4).
Compared to for example scp, my nfs connections are terribly slow (6-7 minutes for the same operation that takes 3 minutes on scp). Are there some settings I can tweak to speed things up? I already increased the number of nfsd processes to 16. Thanks Guy -- Guy Van Sanden Registered Linux user #249404 - September 1997 -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Is async much more dangerous in terms of loosing data on a server crash
(loss of power etc)?

What are you talking about? NFS is very fast!! The only limit is the
network card bandwidth.... (set asside GB as then the limit is the disk). I can push 60-70Mbyte/sec over NFS between 2 linux machines on a GB There is probably a duplex problem causing UDP packets to drop and hang Bryan Whitehead Email:dri...@megahappy.net WorkE:dri...@jpl.nasa.gov -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Whoh there cowboy! I have to respectfully disagree there. I did some
tuning with NFS a while back and managed to get bursts of 80mb/s with average about 60mb/s, compared to 30mb/s for samba. Really informal and q&d benchmarks below. I didn't bother with using real 0m4.441s (further copying of the same file, deleting it in between, had the SMB (copied the slightly smaller file to account for caching): real 0m5.900s (further copying of the same file, deleting it in between, had the ------------------------------------------------------ kernel config on server (naked): /etc/fstab on client (phoenix): kernel config on client (phoenix): No changes made to /etc/conf.d/nfs Things might not be the same for others, but I found SIGNIFICANT alan -- -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
