@perpetualrabbit On an IO bound system high load is normally not a problem. The processes normally wait for IO and still count for load. Thus if the hardware is capable of performing 100 IO operations in parallel a load of 100 is not bad even if there is only one cpu.
These are only NFS servers. Our clients run EDA applications on large VLSI designs. So 20 clients easily saturate 1 GBit ethernet. However we now even do not saturate the network. I ran some performance tests after switching to deadline. The experience is a little bit smoother now but the throughput is still bad. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006446 Title: nfs4 causes enormous load in ubuntu-server making it unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1006446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
