Hi, I have a RHEL 5 system that exhibits less than wonderful performance when copying large files from/to an NFS filesystem. When the copy is taking place, other access to the filesystem is painfully slow. I would like to have the filesystem react well to small requests while a large request is taking place. A couple of questions: Is this a reasonable expectation? Is this perhaps an I/O scheduling issue that isn't specific to NFS, but shows up there because of the latency of my NFS setup? Is this most likely a client issue, a server issue or a combination? Do you have recomendations on the best way to determine what is happening? Are there existing tools to monitor active IO/NFS requests/responses and any relevant queues? Thanks for any info/ideas before I get in too deep :) -- Andrew Bell andrew.bell.ia@xxxxxxxxx -- 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
