Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.32-1
Severity: important
I originally niticed the issue on Ubuntu 12.04.1, but could reproduce it on
Debian as well.
I upgraded a squeeze system to testing and found that NFS access
creates a high load on the NFS server. A single client machine with
a single write causes 40% system load, where the original load on Squeeze
was 7-10% (which still is high, but might be causes by running in a test VM).
My Ubuntu production server got completely killed by several clients
accessing.
Steps to reproduce:
Server:
- install vanilla Squeeze server system without Graphical UI and standard
settings otherwise
- install nfs-kernel-server
- add to exports:
/export client(rw,no_root_squash,async,subtree_check)
- exportfs -a
Client:
- same installation, install nfs-common
- mount with
mount -t nfs server:/export /mnt
- go to /mnt and write a file with
dd if=/dev/zero of /mnt/t1 bs=1M count=10000
- measure the load on the server while writing
- upgrade the server to Wheezy
- do the same writing test and see the load go up
If I boot Wheezy to the still installed 2.6 kernel, the load goes back to
normal.
I have played around with different nfs export and mount options. The only
change that I found was using -o proto=uds when mounting. This reduces the
load to 15% which is still higher than the original load, but still much lower
that 40%.
Ubuntu Bug #879334 and it's duplicates report the same issues.
