For each file OpenAFS has to do at least one lookup on the fileserver (across the local file cache on client). The more little files you use, the more stats are in network queue, the longer it takes. My 2 MB/sec was with files >2 GB which do still fit in local cache. With very much small files the speed goes down to 100 kb/sec and less. > Any idea how to improve this?

My OpenAFS filkeserver options are: parm /usr/lib/openafs/fileserver -L -udpsize 131071 -sendsize 131071 - -rxpck 700 -p 128 -b 600 -nojumbo -cb 1500000 parm /usr/lib/openafs/volserver -nojumbo -udpsize 131071 > br, jukka > MfG, Lars Schimmer - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------- TU Graz, Institut für ComputerGraphik & WissensVisualisierung Tel: +43 316 873-5405 E-Mail: l.schim...@cgv.tugraz.at Fax: +43 316 873-5402 PGP-Key-ID: 0x4A9B1723 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9q19gACgkQmWhuE0qbFyMMSwCdHdVnaGmmdZyJZQJddIUXaaYm GqQAn2kxxX+UN4RUtJWZSOlW/SRCoNWd =FanT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
