I have been struggling with the same problem for the last few months, and accidentally stumbled on a fix that seems to work : 1. On clients set rsize=8192,wsize=8192 in /etc/fstab I suspect that when multiple clients are writing to the NFS4 server simultaneously and overloading the network, the TCP network congestion control only works well for rsize,wsize <= 8192 (the maximum value under Linux when the code was originally written). For single clients larger values DO provide a benefit in higher throughput, but evidently there is some kernel bug triggered when using larger rsize and wsize values under conditions of network overload. -- 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
