I have noticed quite a few carrier_errors on the server bash-3.00# kstat -n elxl0 | grep carrier carrier_errors 842217 but how came it affects NFS but doesn't affect e.g. ftp?I don't have an answer for you. As mentioned, NFS does place a heavier load on networking components and I have never seen that induce carrier_errors but there is a correlation. In the short snoop trace you provided to me offline, for the 788 unique NFS READ requests there were 121 retransmits. 15 percent of the READs were retransmitted to the server and will result in the type of throughput you are seeing. The snoop shows gaps in traffic (for the retransmits) as large as 60 seconds. So, solve the carrier_errors and the situation will improve immensely.
Thanks Spencer, will talk to our network admin and will try to get a different NIC and see if that helps.
