We also see this problem in our network. Our setup with NO problems: SERVER1 NFS server running Ubuntu 11.10 (Kernel 3.0.0-12-server) (2 x Quadcore Xeon 2.4GHz 16GB Ram) SERVER2 Webserver running Ubuntu 8.04 (Kernel 2.6.27.7) (Dualcore Xeon 3.00GHz 2GB Ram) SERVER3 Webserver running Ubuntu 12.04 (Kernel 3.2.0-29-generic) (2 x Quadcode Xeon 2.5GHz 8GB Ram) SERVER4 Webserver running Ubuntu 11.10 (Kernel 3.0.0-12-server) (2 x Quadcore Xeon 2.4GHz 16GB Ram) All webserver get there content from the NFS server. We updated the 8.04 server to 12.04 (Kernel 3.2.0-23-generic-pae) and the problems started. We did apache benchmark tests, when using SERVER4: no problems. Running the same test on SERVER 2 or 3 the load of both SERVER 2 & 3 go sky high (loads of 200+ seen) I watched nfsiostat on SERVER 2 when running the apache benchmark on SERVER 3 and the read/write where 0.00 but the op/s where somewehe around 1200.00 -- 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
