I fumbled badly on my keyboard)
I made some performance tests with nfs on a Linux 2.1.66 PC. I found the
following: if the server is a Sun under Solaris, a Linux client is much
slower than a SunOS or Solaris client. Reading is ok, but writing does not
go above 150 KB/s, whereas a SunOS client will do 300 KB/s and a Solaris one
will get close to 900 KB/s (all this is over a standard ethernet network).
If the server is a knfsd on a Linux machine, all is ok (reading and writing
at top speed). Is there anything I did wrong, or is the Linux nfs
implementation too Linux-specific ? In short, what can I do about it ?
