Wild guess - NFS servers are running RHEL and using ext3 ?

Exactly.

We used to have that problem with the 2 NFS servers for our 90 node cluster
till we dumped RHEL,  switched to Fedora and XFS and all our horrible NFS
problems went away.

Nice, any sort of comparison data in terms of differences in
throughput achieved?

On similar systems we have set up for customers, we have sustained 420 MB/s and 550 MB/s running later model kernels.

On the 550 MB/s system, we started out playing with ext3, and we were able to hit about 300 MB/s.


Additionally, are you writing your journal to a different partition?

Not in this case.


Thanks,
