Hi!
Is there a way to achieve fairness between users _on one client_?
While our users each had their own client, we never had a problem. But
since we moved to a terminal server solution with many users sharing one
machine, especially large writes cause a significant degradation of
responsiveness for everyone else on the same client (ls can take > 1s).
Is this a configuration error? Or is the scenario too arcane to have
been considered worthwhile optimizing?
We tried moving to NFS4, but that did not improve the situation.
Would it help to use an auto-mounter to give each user their own
mount-point?
Or do we need to invest in 10GbE to shift the bottleneck back to the
servers disks?
We run a 2.6.23.11 vanilla kernel. Would a newer version or applying the
most recent NFS patches improve the situation?
I would really appreciate any hints as to which of the above is the most
promising avenue. I tried finding information regarding this problem,
but if there is any out there, it was shadowed by search results
concerning a certain car racing game or tutorials for ancient kernel
versions.

ps: Happy New Year :)
