ok - to sum up a bit..
- for a good LAN, use UDP
- use v3 (this is what I thought)
- use standard data sizes
but still...
Our network connection between client and server is going directly over a
BaySwitch 450 24T, all interfaces set to 100baseTX, half-duplex.
So the LAN is good.
We run 4 nfsd's and 4 nfsiods on each machine.
I did the mount as 'mount_nfs ....'
Even so 'mount' does'nt show, I suppose I made a v3 mount (from the
source code of mount_nfs).
BTW, is there any way to figure that out?
If I do a 'dd if=/dev/zero of=zero2 bs=16k count=64x400' I get
419430400 bytes transferred in 147.402451 secs (2845478 bytes/sec)
(varying from 2.5 to 2.8 Mb/s)
maybe the box was loaded yesterday at my first try...
Locally the server does 10Mb/s write and 33Mb/s read.
So isn't 2.8 Mb/s a bit slow, still?
Do you know what actually determines the writing speed in a case like
our's? Network or disk?
BTW, what is that '-q' switch to mount_nfs actually doing?
