I can't speak to a readdirplus system call; my own (admittedly naive) testing suggests that the system calls are JustFineThankYou, since local "ls -l" with NFS loading (and vice versa) performs very well. What I can say for certain is that whatever NetApp GX is doing to respond to getattr and lookup calls completely wipes the floor with whatever the Linux nfsd is doing... ...*even when Linux is serving out a completely cached, completely read-only workload*. I wish I had the know-how and intelligence to figure out exactly why.
