Glad that this is fixed. I just verified that in vanilla 4.1.1, NFSv4.1 is performing well with parallel opens. We found this problem in our benchmarking study using 3.14.17. In case you are interested, we wrote a paper about NFSv4.1 benchmarking: http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/docs/nfs4perf/nfs4perf-sigm15.pdf Thanks, Ming On Thu, Jul 2, 2015 at 7:23 PM, Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 2, 2015 at 6:47 PM, Ming Chen <mchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> seqid, introduced in NFSv4.0, requires state-changing operations be performed >> synchronously, and thus limits parallelism.
