I worked locally on the server machine for a while (but in the same setup, which only eliminates NFS access) and it does indeed feel better. on the other hand we have weekend. anyway, here is my NFS setup: server exports basically with: /raid/home *(rw,sync,no_root_squash) (and no, using async is not an option, this time) clients import with: server:/raid/home /home nfs rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 0 0 hm. perhaps that 32k is a little too much due to ip fragmentation. any idea what would be a good size to match this with my MTU? or what do you use for good performance? other options? something to change the nfs version being used? would NFSv4 yield anything? also, which would be a good benchmark to measure results wrt access times? i dont worry about raw throughput so much. bonnie++ doesnt seem to be that well suited (or i'm too stupid to read them). thanks for any hint, Raimund -- Pinuts media+science GmbH http://www.pinuts.de Raimund Jacob [EMAIL PROTECTED] Krausenstr. 9-10 voice : +49 30 59 00 90 322 10117 Berlin fax : +49 30 59 00 90 390 Germany -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
