Number of nfsd: 64, and sunrpc.transports = sunrpc.udp_slot_table_entries = 128 sunrpc.tcp_slot_table_entries = 128 I am using: mount -o rw,bg,hard,nointr,proto=tcp,vers=3,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,timeo=600,noatime localhost:/local /nfs I have also tried with 1MB for both rsize/wsize and it didn't change the BW (other than mini variations). thanks, - KK -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
