Are you using userspace NFS or the kernel NFS? The kernel NFS _should_ be faster.

If you are using the userspace NFS, the strace command will show all the system calls it makes. Run strace against the NFS daemon and untar a small tarball with just a few files, otherwise it will spew mountains of logs. strace -f will trace child processes in the event that the daemon forks when you use it. -- Don Quixote de la Mancha quixote@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Custom Software Development for the iPhone and Mac OS X http://www.dulcineatech.com/custom-software-development/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
