Hi list
we have a FreeBSD 7.0 NFS client (csup today, built world and kernel).
It mounts a Solaris 10 NFS share.
We have bad performance with 7.0 (3MB/s).
We have tried both UDP and TCP mounts, both sync and async.
This is our mount:
nest.xx.xx:/data/export/hosts/bsd7.xx.xx/ /mnt/nest.xx.xx nfs
noatime,async,-i,rw,-T,-3
Both our server (7.0 and Solaris 10) are Gigabit Ethernet, both are HP
Proliant DL360 i386 (NIC bge0):

This is our performance with iozone:

As you can see, while with record length less than 1024KB the speed is
'fast', with record of 2048 or more (I've tried with record much
bigger) we get only
3 MB/s.
Is this a known issue? If you need more details please contact me, I
am willing to do more tests to risolve this problem.
Can you characterize what is different about the NFS traffic when
FreeBSD and Solaris are the clients? Does other network traffic to the
server perform well? 2048 bytes records are > the 1500 byte MTU, so you
will be invoking packet fragmentation and reassembly. Maybe you are
getting packet loss for some reason. What does netstat say about
interface errors on the bge, and for the protocol layers?
