1. benchmark the local disc (watch cpu usage via e. g. vmstat 1) % dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/local/filesystem/a bs=1m count=1000 2. benchmark the NFS filesystem (watch cpu usage via e. g. vmstat 1) % dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/NFS/filesystem/a bs=1m count=1000 3. test the NIC performance with (again watching the CPU usage might help) % ping -s 50000 <nfs-server> I get 17Mbit/sec which is the actual rate... neo# ping -s 50000 vaako PING vaako.riddick.homeunix.org (10.1.1.3): 50000 data bytes 50008 bytes from 10.1.1.3: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=46.584 ms My theory would be, that your NICs need a lot of CPU time, while your local discs dont need so much CPU time. :-) Bye Arne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
