copying from a local standalone disk to a raid5 array works smooth at a constant 30MB/s. So far, so good. Now, copying data from a machine on the network over 100MBit NFS is kinda jerky. It works, but within a second or two, the transfer rate reported goes from a few 100k/s up to 22MB/s (which is bogus - 100MBit=12.5MB/s max) and back, varying all over. Copying to the single disk works is constant around 10MB/s. I use "sync" in exportfs for all shares. What could cause this behaviour? -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a- C+++(++++) UL+>++++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?
