Dear Debian developers, it seems that there is a little problem with the NFS client in Debian sarge. I hope this is the best place to post this problem. I have discussed this on http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-german/2006/06/msg00130.html before but no solution has been found.
The situation: I have a file server running on Sarge AMD64 connected with a 1GBit interface to a GBit uplink off the switch. Do not think that this sounds like a common problem. It isn't!!! I am using the nfs-kernel-server on the file server. Now, I copy a 6GB test file via nfs from the server to my Sarge AMD64 client and get a transfer rate of about 2MB/s only. Using scp I obtain about 10MB/s. When I use other linux clients (e.g., different Suse versions or the last stable Ubuntu) the nfs transfer rate is about 10MB/s (how it should be). The most interesting fact is, that I obtain about 10MB/s with my Debian client if I connect the file server to a 100MBit Port on the switch. The following facts have been checked: - network interface configuration (for the server and my client is o.k. and no changes occur during any file transfer) - no collisions or trafic errors occur on the network interface or on the switch ports - I have the same problem with a Sarge i386 client - nfs transfer uses nfsv3 - different mount options test without success: tcp/udp, timeo, rsize/wsize Could it be that the reason of the performance problem can be found in the NFS client itself?
