With FreeBSD-6.1 as client (using an Intel etherexpress card at 100 Mb/s) and FC5 server i see full wire speed for file transfers via NFS. > After the 4th of July I intend to test Ubuntu as a client to a FreeBSD > 6-STABLE server on a gigabit lan to run similar time trials.

The 6.1-RELEASE client seems to work well. Yesterday i have upgraded my 6.0 (*) box to 6.1 and i have not seen a single NFS problem after that. Moreover i am using rpc.statd, and rpc.lockd and they work OK and are really functional. I have the following sysctl which may have an effect on the problem: vfs.nfs.access_cache_timeout=5 So it may well be that it is the FreeBSD NFS server code which has problems. (*) 6.0-RELEASE client definitively does not work OK for me. -- Michel TALON
