Re: Poor NFS performance after recent update

2006-12-23 Thread Kimi Ostro

Ok just to finish this thread off:

After taking the power away from my switch for 30 seconds and powering
it up again - everything automagically works back to normals.

Merry Christmas & a Happy new Year.

Try transfers in different directions.  Example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] scp -p [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/urandom /tmp/urandom
[EMAIL PROTECTED] scp -p /dev/urandom [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/urandom

Also try the same from machineBB:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] scp -p [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/urandom /tmp/urandom
[EMAIL PROTECTED] scp -p /dev/urandom [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/urandom

Do you see slow LAN transfer speeds when only receiving data vs.
sending data?  If so, chances are it's a duplex problem, and you
should either adjust some settings in ifconfig_fxp0 in rc.conf to
try and work around it (try forcing media 100baseTX mediaopt
full-duplex rather than using autonegotiate), or try a different
switch.

Okay, this is getting stranger. transferring data between 8 machines
on my network which are all running FreeBSD as having this problem,
yet I cans download iso file off the internet at over 100KB/s.

Looks like I was wrong, as SCP is also just as slow as NFS

I'm lost.

I'm going to install 6.1-RELEASE to see if that "fixes" my problem.

thanks! all!!

A small side note (probably not related to your actual
problem):  It is usually a bad idea to use the -s ("soft")
option, because many programs are not prepared to handle
unexpected I/O errors, leading to file corruption.

The following is an excerpt from the Solaris docs, which
applies to FreeBSD as well:

 |   File systems that are mounted read-write or that  con-
 |   tain  executable  files  should always be mounted with
 |   the hard option.  Applications using soft mounted file
 |   systems  may incur unexpected I/O errors, file corrup-
 |   tion, and unexpected  program  core  dumps.  The  soft
 |   option is not recommended.

I think a similar paragraph should be added to FreeBSD's
mount_nfs(8) manpage and to the Handbook.

Best regards
   Oliver

no, still the same 20-60KBps that hovers about 30KBps. Doing a tcpdump
