One of my users complained that it was 10 times slower than other systems. I ran some tests using "dd if=/dev/zero of=somefile bs=1024k count=256". Sure enough his system took 17 minutes to complete that command when writing to the nfs mounted file system I had created. He is running 7.2 Red Hat linux. I found other RH linux systems had similar times. However, other FreeBSD and Slackware systems could complete the command in 30-45 seconds. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I noticed the RH systems didn't have NFSv3 support. I don't know if that would cause such a drastic difference or not.
