Hello, yesterday I reinstalled Etch on my NSLU2 and hit this bug with NFS. I should note, though, that while this problem shows every time I transfer a big file (700MB) from my laptop to the NSLU2 over 802.11g WLAN, I can't always reproduce it when I transfer the same file from my desktop system over 100Mbps Ethernet. On the desktop system the problem shows only 2 out of 10 times.
In both systems I used rsync for transferring the files back and forth and during the transfer from NSLU2 to the desktop I was getting a solid 5-5.5 MBps speed the whole time. Sending the file from the desktop to the NSLU2 the speed varied from 20MBps -- in the beginning -- to 700KBps with ocassional freezes. Both the desktop and the laptop systems run Sid and mount the NFS share with these options: "nfsvers=3,tcp,hard,intr". On the NSLU2 I've installed linux-image-2.6.18-3-ixp4xx and have these options in /etc/exports: "no_root_squash,subtree_check". I tried setting sysctl net.ipv4.tvp_wmem to "4096 8192 8192" and "4096 16384 16384" but it didn't fix the problem. On my previous setup with slugOS and the proprietary ethernet driver I didn't have such problems but the maximum speed I got was about 3MBps. -- Manolis Tzanidakis [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tzanidakis.gr/~manolis jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq: #102798230 Grab my GPG Public key from my homepage. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
