I have applied the patch (ac6) and found a 4 times speed up for 8K pages.
Is a similar patch also available for the 2.0.x kernel?
The patch also seems to solve the corruption problem.
Sometimes (randomly), compiler-generated binaries got corrupted
(i.e. the binary did crash with a segmentation fault) when the compiler has
written the binary to an NFS-mounted filesystem. This occured with different
programs and different compilers. However, as I said, with the patch this
does not persist anymore.
I would also like to repeat my original question:
Is there any information about nfs3 for linux?
