ifconfig ethX mtu 9000 But you MUST do that before you use that interface for iSCSI connection. Otherwise iSCSI will not take advantage of the higher Ethernet frame size. However, I don't think this is going to help you (you might see a 2% improvement). Your bottleneck isn't the network but rather the disks you have on your target. If you can upgrade those to 15K RPM ones and maybe even tweak the dirty pages writeback policy/cache size that could help a lot in the performance (Google for 'pdflush dirty pages tweaks'). Furthermore you can turn also turn of datagram checksuming (and not use CRC32) which will lower the CPU usage (but that might back-fire if your switches/cables are low quality and you need to re-transmit the data). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
