Why there is so much difference in read performance ? Is there any way to achieve high read speed for small files ? That seems excellent to me. 204800 bytes at 11213252 per sec would be 18.2 msec, so your per-file overhead is around 9 msec. The disk latency alone would normally be more than that. -- 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
