Let me explain my network configuration. Internet <--------------------> eth0 | the linux router | eth1 <------------------------------> eth0 | the desktop. The linux router is actually a proper computer but not a router that has linux firmware. eth1 on the router and eth0 on the desktop are both full-duplex at 100Mbps. The full-duplex connection is confirmed using netcat like http://imagebin.org/148650 And they also remain full-duplex during NFS transfers according to "ethtool". The router runs an NFS server, and the desktop uses an NFS client. On the desktop, if I download files from the internet to the NFS server, the client caches dozens or hundreds of megabytes before sending data to the server like http://imagebin.org/148648 As a result, the download pauses frequently to send data to the NFS server until the download is finished. I want NFS client to forward downloaded data to the server immediately instead of after caching. In other words, I want NFS transfer to be http://imagebin.org/148650 but not http://imagebin.org/148648 Does anybody know how to solve this issue? -- 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
