Is this normal? Is there any NFS > parameter that I should tune to make the latter faster? How many directories are there in some_dir?

This can indeed by much slower if it requires revalidating the cached attributes of each file. --b. -- 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
