It seems like this should be addressable in the NFS client (or perhaps even the next layer up). For example, a hypothetical NFS driver that implements a read-ahead cache, resulting in separate, parallel requests for chunks of the file. Given the big price difference between 10G and 1G Ethernet, there's motivation for a software solution, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone has created an NFS driver or set of kernel parameters tuned for these circumstances. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
