Hi, I'm trying to setup a server that we can create millions of files on over NFS. When I run our creation benchmark locally I can get around 3000 files/ second in the configuration we're using now, but only around 300/second over NFS. It's mounted as this: rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,hard,bg,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp, nfsvers=3,timeo=600,actimeo=600,nocto When I mount the same FS over localhost instead of across the lan, it performs about full speed (the 3000/sec). Anyone have any ideas what I might tweak or look at? We're going to be testing various XFS/LVM configs to get the best performance, but right out the gate, NFS having a 10:1 penalty of performance doesn't bode well.
