NFS Performance Troubleshooting


Hello folks,

I am looking into what I think is a performance problem on my NFS.

While copying a file I can see the following:
- kB per operation go from 1024 bytes down to 4.28 bytes per op and anywhere in between
- RTT (round trip time) avg of 50ms
- kB/s avg of 60kB (decrease to 15kB when 4.28 bytes per op)

If you can help me with where to look I sure would appreciate the help.

Also, if you have articles for me to read (for nfs config of parameters, etc) that would be great as well.

Are you using
Quote:
async
on both the server and client. This is known to improve performance in some cases. I found this, which solved a similar problem for a user
Quote:
Try using (rw,async,no_root_squash) in /etc/exports and mounting with -fstype=nfs,rw,noatime,nodiratime,async on the client.
