You mention increasing the server's RAM; this might help if you're thrashing the server's dentry or pages caches. Unfortunately I don't know of a sensible or easy way to check this, except by comparing the working set size to RAM. Bumping up actimeo on the client could be a useful way to reduce the amount of GETATTR traffic. -- Greg Banks, P.Engineer, SGI Australian Software Group. the brightly coloured sporks of revolution.
