dd-command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/nfssrv/dd.tst bs=1024 count=1048576 on client: 1073741824 bytes transferred in 24.787112 secs (43318553 bytes/sec) gstat showed approx. 30.000-52.000 KB/s. on nfs-server: 1073741824 bytes transferred in 23.368815 secs (45947637 bytes/sec) gstat showed approx. 45.000-46.000 KB/s. The funny thing is that the outputrate fluxuates more dd'ing from the client (remote) and is more consistent dd'ing on the server (locally). > What is the server spending its time doing?

I chosed raid 5 to maximize space. regards Claus _______________________________________________ freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
