One reason that FreeBSD users experience poor NFSv3/TCP performance is that the defaults for rsize and wsize is unusually small, only 8k. Solaris and HP-UX defaults to 32k for a good reason. I guess TCP simply needs a little bit more data to chew on to be efficient. I tested this on 5.2-CURRENT and found that large file read performance went up from 56Mbit/s to 80Mbit/s, an improvement by 43%. I have written a patch that makes FreeBSD use the same defaults as Solaris and HP-UX. Note that with NFSv3 there is no risk associated with specifying to large values for [rw]size. The server automatically limits these values in the fsinfo rpc. Patch is attached. Cheers, Björn -- _ _ ,_______________.
