Hello list, I have some really strange nfs performance issues NFS server is Fedora 12, running * kernel-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64 and * nfs-utils-1.2.1-4.fc12.x86_64 * nfs shared /home is ext4 with default mount options /etc/exports: /home 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync) nfs and nfslock are up and running Nothing else touched on the server nfs-wise. NFS client is Mac OS X, version 10.6.3 My /home dir is automounted on the Mac with the following mount options: * nosuid,nodev,resvport,rdirplus,rwsize=1048576 (nfsv3 and tcp are default, I have also tried udp, and with and without rdirplus, with different read/write sizes (started with 32k, less for udp, and then cranked it up to 1m to make the beachball appear less often), but I still have issues no matter which options I chose) Anyway, I'm stuck now, surfing the web with Safari is a very unpleasant experience on nfs, beachball every now and then together with a huge amount of network traffic (RX with 20MB/s+ peaks), not unusual to see several gigabytes received after some minutes browsing, XCode shows a ''The document "SomeFile.m" could not be saved.''-error after some edits, Opera hangs for minutes when closing, etc etc. It's horrible :( Another example, extracting http://www.bignerdranch.com/solutions/Cocoa-3rd.tgz took over 3min! $ time tar xzf Cocoa-3rd.tgz 0.169u 3.198s 5:51.10 0.9% 0+0k 1+6972io 0pf+0w $ time rm -rf Solutions-Cocoa-3rd/ 0.014u 0.477s 0:45.59 1.0% 0+0k 1+1io 0pf+0w So any help or hints really appreciated -- 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
